Also known as a Perkin Elmer 3250XP (used for space shuttle simulation
among other stuff).

This was a multiprocessor 32 bit mini real-time box.
Architecture like an IBM 360 (kind of) . Ran OS/32 (and as
a single CPU Unix -possibly Edition Vii and definitely Xelos System V)

7015 is the Deskside RS6000 box. The problem is it's a 7015-xxx with
the XXX being the RS6000 model number.
