Does anyone have a 16k core memory board for a very dated Computer Automation Inc. ALPHA LSI that they would be willing to part with for little or no cost. As ours has died and they are no longer serviced in Australia we would be grateful to get our Finnigan 3200 Chromatography/Mass. Spec. back on the road. Thanks for any info.

You're kidding! Is there still Alpha LSI around! That was the first real computer I put my hands on and PHEEEW that was fun! We had two TeleType terminals and a VDU plus a cardreader (which was quite funny because you could actually control the whole computer from the cardreader!!!). But the best part of it: When we went on holiday (1 1/2 month) we didn't save out programs (on paper punch tape) because when we returned the ferrit rings still contained our programs! But back to your origional question: If I can find the student who got the machine after we got some more up to date computers we may have a deal because I don't think he use it anymore - BUT YOU PAY the TRANSPORT! :-) Yours sincerely Leif Andrew Rump
