Can anyone tell me the name and phone # of a computer 
dealer who is still in business and who once dealt
in Molecular (brand) computers?  The local Red Cross
bought one of them, the company (Molecular) apparently
folded, and then the dealer in Indianapolis followed
suit.  The computer got hit by lightning (starting to 
sound like Red Cross has bad luck?) and their insurance
won't pay for a replacement until they get an "Expert
Appraisal" of the replacement value of the system.  I'm 
going to try to make that appraisal, but until I can find
out what the system did, I can't determine with what one
might reasonably replace it.

So - I need to talk to an ex-dealer, I suppose.  Unless 
anyone within earshot (crt-shot?) can help...the system 
was a Molecular 9/60.  Had 5 AP8020 processors (I *think*
it's a Z-80 based multi-processor system with a 60M hard
disk, but I'm going to call myself an expert and gotta 
be SURE!)

Thanks in advance.  Mark Sheehan, Manager, Small Systems Support
