So I went into the erm, server room, and pulled
apart the Meiko nodes and
took some pictures. Apologies for the poor quality, all I had was a camera
phone, not so great lighting (and an unsteady hand)...
CS/860 (a.k.a. Concerto) :
MK083 x 1 (Sparcstation 1+ host and link adapters etc)
MK086 x 1 (Twin i860 + transputers)
A thing of beauty.
I recall my University (Bristol Poly/UWE) had a Meiko. It must have been the
larger model as it stood 6' tall and was about 3' wide in black. Looked like
the monolith from 2001 :)
