(WCW) was a computer workstation company formed in the East End of London, United Kingdom in April 1983, with investment from the Greater London Enterprise Board and the Department of Trade and Industry. Their first workstation model was the MG-1 (named after the Milliard Gargantubrain from The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy). The MG-1 was based on the National Semiconductor NS32016 microprocessor, with a 1024 x 800 pixel monochrome display, a 40 MB Rodime SCSI hard disk and an optional Ethernet interface. Initially, NatSemi's GENIX operating system, a port of 4.1BSD UNIX, was provided; this was later replaced by a port of 4.2BSD called 42nix. The MG-1 also had a partially kernel-based graphical user interface called Oriel.
