Hi All,
I noticed that the Multiflow race 14/300 system listed on eBay didn't sell
recently. I don't have any personal background with these machines but it
seems they could be both significant and rare? It's been sitting on eBay but
I wasn't sure if it had slipped between the cracks somehow? I've been in
contact with the seller and he's said that he's still hoping to sell it, but
that it has to be cleared soon (and would be scrapped). I don't live in the
US, so it's not an easy one for me to work with. Is this of interest to
anyone? Cheers Evan

Would be quite interesting. A micro super- multiprocessor system.
I do have an incomplete system, sold in Germany a GEI Trace. Mine has two Fujtsu SMD
Drives.
Would take the system, but wrong side of the pond.
Very rare, should be saved.

They are VERY rare, and significant,
as there were very few physical
VLIW machines ever built. My guess is Trace built maybe 50 machines?

Does anyone have the capacity to power the unit on in Texas? I
could purchase and move, but without any ability to power it on it would
just sit persistently in storage and I'm not interested in getting another
minicomputer that will just sit.
Let me know?

Yeah but ... I wouldn't. The power supplies look too rough for me
to trust the smoke-test.
I can store it but I will lie if I say I can devote any time to it.

I see that someone has picked it up via Buy It Now. No,
it wasn't me.

I know the person who acquired it, who last I heard is seeking a good way to move and
safely store it near its current site right now. If anyone has any suggestions, I can
forward them along.
