Prime 5320 *possibly* up for grabs (Ascot, UK)

Hi all,

I just heard of a Prime 5320 (1990 vintage) up for grabs in Ascot, UK.

It's possible the museum are going to take it (if only to save it from
the crusher), but it really depends on what the transport arrangements
are, as it's too far away from any of the staff to do a pick-up. If the
owners can deliver then it's not a problem!

Apparently there's an unknown PSU fault with it, and attempts by the
company who own it to get it professionally fixed have failed - hence
the reason it's going out the door.

Comes with hard disks, tapes and floppies I've been told (no idea about
documentation)

Unfortunately I don't have a timescale on how long it can stay where it
is before it gets dumped - I've lost track of how many times people
contact us about stuff and if they don't hear back within a couple of
hours they haul it off to be crushed... :-(

I'm still waiting to hear about the delivery issue. As these machines
aren't that common though on this side of the pond, it would seem nice
to line up someone who can save it assuming that the museum can't.

cheers

Jules
