Movement Drum Computer Mk II x 2

via Vemia
"I purchased both of these Movement Mark II's around eight years ago - both are sold as one lot (reason in a minute) and as non working. The first appears to be an earlier machine (no floppy drive) and is in cosmetically better condition than the other. It comes with a customquality flight case and appears to have been used by someone called 'T Vallis' although I can't find anything about them. Note this unit does not have MIDI. Upon powering on there is a nasty crackling from the power supply so it needs some care from a person qualified to do so! The second unit is I suspect later, firstly it has a built in floppy drive and seems to want to boot from it - however I have no boot or other discs for it. Secondly it has MIDI ports on the back. Movement produced very few units of the MkII - the Mk1 having been famously used in the 'Sweet Dreams' video by Eurythmics [see this post]. I understood Blancmange used a Movement Mk II for a couple of their albums - hence my having to try and own one (hands up to being a huge Blancmange fan!). They need to go to a good home who can get them working again - hence being sold as one lot - tragically I suspect one is going to have to be used to provide parts transplant for the other to make one working unit. ** According to nLi, the Movements were based on a NASCOM computer - lots of info at http://www.nascomhomepage.com/ **"
