Unix on 32016

I had to find a keyboard, mouse and display from elsewhere, then reverse-engineer the disk contents so I could rebuild it (slowly!) onto a more healthy drive. I ended up getting gcc onto it, then a few other odds and ends just to show it off (POV, Fractint etc.). It felt very quick to actually use. Unfortunately it's in storage at Bletchley these days - I'd love to ship it to the US with me, but I suspect it'd just be way too heavy :-( I did get contacted by an ex-Tek engineer who'd worked on the firmware for the 3D engine in the high-end XD88 machines; apparently Tek had the fastest 3D engine on the planet for a few short weeks, until SGI came along and blew them out the water :-) I think of all the systems I've owned, that one has to be my favourite... cheers Jules
