Prime?

I was mostly hoping for an emulator that I could set-up and play with on my own....used to work a bit with a prime 750 and later an exl box. -Bob -----Original Message----- From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Dennis Boone Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2015 10:34 AM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Prime? Bob, Last I talked to Jim, he wasn't doing hobbyist versions any more. :( He said it was a fair amount of work to produce one, and there wasn't much interest. I don't believe I've seen Primix in captivity, though there are certainly tapes that haven't been read somewhere. You probably met most of the usual suspects at VCFmw. Ian Primus has a fair collection. I have a working 5340, plus a 2550 and a 4050 that need work. I think Jeff Russ had a machine that needed a power supply. Daiyu Hurst may have a machine that needs work. There are a few other folks I've talked to about Prime stuff that may or may not have hardware, including one ex-Prime engineer who had some hard-to-read cartridge tapes from an EXL. Computronics still supports a few customers. (!) I think 1st Solutions has packed it in. There may be a few outfits that support government machines: not all that long ago, I saw a support price list online that included a few bits of Prime gear. I thought you folks had mainly EXL hardware, not 50 Series? De
