And:

(from Jim Austins collection) : Elliot & Ferranti

Psion (organiser etc.)

Whitecross (WX9xxx & later). Massively parallel transputer (and later 
x86) SQL machines. Doesn't do much without a Sun frontend but the 
machine itself was designed & manufactured in the UK. Sadly, the 
transputers it uses are ST rather than Inmos. I have one as a pet :-)

Flite (68K training systems). Still going too!

Does British Olivetti count? I once had a BCS2??? machine.

Strangely, I don't recall anything from Ireland. With a lot of IT 
compnies now having a large presence there it strikes me as strange.
