I worked at Canyon Park Data Center (one of Microsoft's original Data
Centers in Puget Sound) and they had just as you walked into the data
center floor a Unisys rack that had like 64 individual SBC to work in
unison with WinNT Clustering. It was configured like a Cray where you had
a maintenance pc/laptop that was the console for booting/operating the
entire rack - so yes, make sure you have all the parts together when one of
those hits the recycler.

Jim Gray circa 1996 -
1999 and he worked for Tandem during the NonStop era which informed his
knowledge of fault-tolerance that helped him advise the Windows NT
Clustering team.
Don't toss it!!! If you can't find

Well I said no more computers I can't lift,

finding me. So today we pulled a Tandem CLX out of a basement, along
with a few boxes of docs, 9-track tapes and random odd and ends:

There's such as thing as "so obscure that no one knows/cares about
it". I've had those before. Do I have another? It sure is heavy.
