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.
