MU5 Software

[Rob Jarratt]

With all this talk on the list recently about rare machines, here is a
really long shot.

 

I am interested in MU5, a research computer built at the University of
Manchester in the 70s, which I know for a fact no longer exists. However, I
would like to find any software, in any form, for it. Does anyone here have
anything, or know who to ask?

 

I have already been in contact with some of the people most closely
associated with MU5 and drawn a blank so far. I am also  aware of some
documents in the National Archive of the History of Computing which may help
and I will be going to consult those soon.

 

Regards
