We have a couple of large ones here in the MARCH/InfoAge collection. I
don't have any information handy about the model numbers or the condition.

Fellow Classic Computer Enthusiasts,
I was rewatching "30 Years in the Tardis" last night and came across
an item on the tape I had forgotten about. It's been years since I
watched it, and the last time was long before I started tinkering with
classic computer emulators. Anyway, while rewatching it I was
thrilled to come across a commercial with the Doctor and Romana
advertising a Prime computer. I found some info on the net on the Prime
computer
line, such as:
http://www.malch.com/prime/
on the net but no mention of an emulator. I also found some manuals
on BitSavers.org. Having been a Doctor Who fan for years, and with
Tom Baker being my favorite Doctor, I'd love to have the opportunity
to experience a computer system he endorsed.
Why not just pick up a Prime? They're out there. Some of them are even not
all that big.
Peace... Sridhar
