We run a couple of dozen Whitechapels MG1's here at Glasgow and
get between a .25 and 0.6 of a 780 out of them. Most of the time
about 0.4. The system is pure 4.2, generating object modules
that look the same as on the VAX and any data modules are
binary compatible ( e.g. troff width tables ).

The machines have a 1024 by 800 bit mapped screen and lots
of libraries for writing your own graphics programs. There
is also a colour version and binaries from one will run on the
other. Naturally colour binaries will not be in colour on the
b/w version.

A 32332 version was recently demonstrated at the Design Show
in Birmingham and I look forward to running some benchmarks.

Prices for the monochrome version start at about 5K pounds.

These machines are highly recommended.
