If anyone knows anyone looking for a Cray,

Cray J932SE system. 32 proc, 2 megawords of RAM as I recall.

Has VME IO subsystem, HIPPI channels on a lot of the CPU boards 
(originally was 4 x J932SE in a hypercube via hippi IIRC.) Has 4 SCSI 
disks (9GB) although has room for lots more (system checks disk firmware 
vendor.)

I like it but no place to keep it and I don't want to keep moving it 
between rental house garages. It's currently in Norfolk Virginia, I'm in 
Northern Virginia. I have pics of it.

I'm not sure the Unicos build I have is compatible with it, it kernel 
panics on startup. I have some software, the SWS Sparcstation 5. Uses 3 x 
220v outlets @ 30 amps each.

Here is some stuff from last time I played with it:

These are RARE. I think I know of two or three J932SE systems in the wild, 
one in Germany one in another foreign country.

Was looking for $8500 or so. Pound for pound such a better deal than an 
Altair.
