Hi Bill,
Slick OK but HUGE. It runs 386's [2 per card]. Came out of the Va Tech
computer lab ... along with my best find .. a fairly complete Intel
Hypercube setup [the early one in a 5' silver monolith, iPSC/1] .. runs
32 286 processors in parallel. It came with the Intel 310 front end and
a couple of 9 track tape drives. No terminal however. I've been toying
with the idea of trying to get it up and running. Paul Pierce says he
may have the O/S for it and some info/manuals/etc [which were sadly
missing and sorely needed!]
regards, Craig
PS: Love those drives ... I'm trying to figure some way to hang one
[chains I guess] over my desk with a tracklight on it. I'd prefer not to
kill myself or my back while doing it though.
