New member, New machine

Hi, I have just rejoined this list (I have joined in the past but somehow I was removed from the list earlier in the week). Anyway the reason I am mailing is that I have just been given the chance to take home a decomissioned Meiko CS2 from work. It wask working upto a couple of weeks ago, but has recently been moved and will not come back up again. The person who supervised the move re-seated all the boards, but did not try and in depth investigation. I am very positive that I will resurrect it. Hopefully I will be able to take it away (software and manuals included). For those who don't know about the Meiko - it is supposed to be a massively parallel architecture based around SPARC processors, and runs a modified version of Solaris. I know that this is probably a bit recent to be classed as a classic at the moment, however I believe it will become one in the future as it is relatively rare, Meiko never produced that many, British, and an interesting machine. BTW the machine I am talking about is mentioned on meiko's website at http://www.meiko.co.uk/info/CorporateOverview.html. Also don't get carried away by the story of the Lawrence Livermore Labs having an 800 module (processor?) system, this is nowhere that size. -- Andy Leighton => andyl(a)azaal.dircon.co.uk "...
