I am getting an el98 cray from 1996 (I know it's OT). Anyone know
anything about these ?. I can't wait to take it up 3 flights of stairs
and I might need to slowly break it to the missus. But I couldn't
resist...

I think trying to get a Cray up one flight of stairs, never
mind three, must surely count as on-topic!
Anyway, by the time you've got it up the stairs, it
*will* be 2006 ....

Weighs 635Kg apparently... :) Not exactly a light piece of hardware!
No idea whether they're 3-phase or not...
Where's it come from by the way? Most machines from this class usually
came from interesting places...

and the boot tapes are rare... needs 220 single phase .. try googling
there's s guy with a nice set of pictures..
..weigh about 1200+ lbs - hehe - suggest you put them on concrete!

I hope that you will have some help dragging it up the stairs. It's about 5
ft high and wide and about 4 feet deep.
The RICM has an EL98:

If you don't have any luck there, I'll send some shippers to come get
it. :)
