From: "Hills, Paul" <Paul.HILLS(a)landisgyr.com> That's a lot - it's not really a vintage machine, nor a particularly rare one. I still use mine as a MC56000 Digital Signal Processing (DSP) testbed. At the time, the ?500 I paid for it was a quarter of what I would have had to pay to get a DSP experimentation card for a PC, and since I didn't have a PC at the time it was a bargain. In addition to that, I wrote a series of articles about DSP for the ST Format magazine in the UK, for which they paid me ?500, recompensing the computer's cost! Ha! paul
