[UK - East Midlands / East Anglia] Molecular Computer Rescue

[Adrian Graham]

Hi John,

I think Bletchley Park would be interested in that machine, particularly if
it's British. There's at least 2 of us in Cambs that can come and collect.
Google turns up too many scientific results so can you give us a bit more
info please? If it's multiuser I'm assuming it's running a form of unix?
