Many years ago I worked on a minicomputer range manufactured in the UK. The series was the Molecular 18 sold by BCL Ltd.
Having an interest in this machine, and in PDP8 machines, I have been looking for links between the two. (The two machines have quite a few similarities)
In an interview, Saul Dinman (who designed the PDP8/S) talks about a later design called the GRI-909. Saul had left DEC at this stage I believe. The company that manufactured the early Molecular 18 machines in the UK was Allied Business Computers, who also produced a machine called the GRI-99.
This all may be coincidence and fanciful, but does any one have any information of the GRI range of machines?
