Hey, Bob, what ever happened to the Harris 24 bit mini-computer? We bought one for the Univ. of Alabama Medical School in the 70's when it would run rings around Prime and HP. We put a 300 MB Control Data disk on that sucker. Sounded like a jet aircraft warming up when you turned it on.

There's an obscure FoxPro tie-in. The first version of dBase was called Vulcan by the original developer (Ratcliffe at JPL, right?). Harris made him change the name because that was the name of the OS on the Harris mini-computer.
