Call Purdue salvage and ask. When I saw it, it wasn't in the area that
would normally be seen, but it may be available. Call (765) 494-4600
and ask for the number for Purdue salvage...

I'd been deleting these messages as yet-another-ebay-related-flame
but this message caught my attention. If there's a complete Cyber 205
in existence anywhere, I'd sure like to know about it. What is the
status of this machine? Is it available? Anybody know?

Not too long ago (and perhaps still) the CDC
Cyber 205 was complete and
sitting in one of the Purdue University salvage buildings. This is a *BIG*
machine and would require some serious space, power, etc.
The machine has a panel on it which there are the signatures of many
people. I think they are the signatures of the installers, maintainers,
etc.
