The machine he's (sorta) working with predates the machines I've
worked with by 20-30 years and have no architectural similarities. I
doubt I'd be of much help for that reason. I'm willing to take a whack
at it, though.

Doesn't the Cray-1 run of an Eclipse front end. So he is really asking

He has a (mostly) complete disk image of the pack from the Eclipse.
The problem is he hasn't found anyone who is willing, or remembers,
how the system internals work. He is on the Controlfreaks mailing
list, which is probably the largest surviving brain trust of things
CDC and Cray, and hasn't gotten the answers he's looking for.
I have to give it to the guy for being persistent, though.

Was it in fact an Eclipse? Cray-1s were front-ended by a bunch of
different types of systems, not just DG machines.
