Many, many years ago I acquired a bunch of Terak micros from a storage locker. It was being leased by my employer and no one had been tracking what was stored there. One day a beancounter showed up, questioned the monthly payment and instructed us to "clean it out". I got the Teraks. But, there was another item sitting in the storage locker. An Array Processor. Still bolted to the pallet it shipped on. Never used. was intended for use with a Prime 850 but that deal never went through. It could also have been used on a VAX (and maybe even a PDP-11 but I can't say that for sure.) I would have taken it except for the fact that it was completely covered in bird crap because it was out of its packaging and not covered with anyone. This was mid 1980's. Anybody here remember what these things were worth then? :-(
