1. Replacement for Info Machine

   disk + floppy for backup.  If this is not purchased, an 11/34
   will be needed instead for the extra Bush Fep.  Including BBC  
   + Colour Monitor.
                                       11/73 etc + X25 I/F + BBC   #13,811 (incl. VAT)

   the replacement Fstore machine.

4. Community Computing Micro to allow comms team to evaluate its
   connection to the network, develop software if necessary (such
   as SSMP) and assist with comms problems. 
                                                            Micro     #800 (incl. VAT)

5. BBC + Colour Monitor + Printer to act as an enhancement to the
   existing CPSE console.  The current console output is useless
   to the operators, the bBC will provide a graphical display of
   the start of all 3 CPSEs.

                                                          BBC etc   #1,077 (incl. VAT)

6. CPSE enhancements

       1) To allow higher speed working (up to 48K)
          The traffic on individual links is increasing 
          and flexibility must be allowed to increase the 
          speeds of individual links as saturation is
          approached.  The machines in question are the
          3 EMAS services, the ERCVAX and the Filestore.

                                                  4x38.4/48Kbaud     #6,400 (incl VAT)

       2) To implement the Megalink connection.
          We will require 2 DMA directors, 2 x 2Mb
          link bands and 2 boxes to connect from
          X21 to G703.
                                                  Estimated Cost   #18,700 (incl. VAT)


       3) For PAD switches to cater for the increasing
          demand for network connections, 
      
                      2 for Bush, 1 for A.I., 1 for Invergowrie.   #19,227 (incl. VAT)
