Cool stuff Pat!
How much power does that baby draw?
When I measured it, about 4A of 240V single phase. I didn't measure it
when it was fully up, but it probably doesn't draw more than another
couple amps when running.
Did it come with and disk drives?
No, but if I decide to get it running something besides Linux, I've got
an IBM 9343 with 12GB (IIRC) of disk space, which came with the ES/9000
I got a few months ago from St. Louis.
Will we be seeing that at VCF Midwest 1.0?
Unfortunately, probably not... the machine requires at least 200V, and I
dont think i'll have much luck convincing people to help me move it
again unless I buy/rent a forklift or lift-gate for my truck...
I will have *something* interesting there, though. I just need to figure
out what that'll be.
