   Hmm, what
are the odds... I just came across a small magnetic
 tape from CDC, from 1975, containing CDC 8090 Assembler, whatever
 that is... If the label is to be trusted, it is a 7 track tape,
 contains one file, and the density is 556? 
 We had an 8090 in Bloomington, front-ending a 3600; later its was
 replaced by a 3400. The 3400/3600 system was in turn replaced by the
 6600 in 1970.  
 Do you know what happened to the VAXen used by IU Bloomington in the early
 1990s?  I was at Rose-Hulman at the time, but many of my friends were
 going to IU.  I remember there being a couple of VAX/VMS systems like
 ROSE, JADE, and AQUA <?>. 
Yeah, those sound like some of the names I've seen, although that was
after my time. But Greg Travis has an interest in these machines, his
web site is:

But while he mentions the VAXen, he doesn't have pictures or state he's
got one or more of them, so you might wan to ask him for further info.
