A piece of UK computing history is going on the auction block this month in the form of a plug-in package for a Ferranti Pegasus Computer.

Readers of a certain age will remember the joy of feeding and retrieving punched paper tape from the looming bulk of machines like the Pegasus, while others may recall seeing one of the beasts occasionally fired up at London's Science Museum until a fault in 2009 shut it down permanently.
