Hmm, wonder if they still have the PR1ME in storage? (PR1ME stuff is next to 
impossible to come by these days - particularly docs and software)



We had a few beebs scattered around at UKC in the early 90's running as 
terminals (mainly to Sun hardware, although there were a few VAXen, Apollos 
and SGIs around too).

The beebs had largely gone by then though, replaced by PCs (running exceed), 
NCD Xterms, and TA Alphatronics (latter as pure dumb terminals).

The Alphatronics were horrible in comparison to the beeb!

I've got a ROM dump of the UKC beeb terminal emulator here if anyone needs
a copy.

cheers
