A system I have always wanted (spent much of my career

finally been acquired.
A Prime (Pr1me) model 2250 aka "rabbit". The cpu chassis is in the
foreground. I do have the bezels (they were removed for shipping). In
the background you can see the rebadged cipher F880 in the same type
of rack that will sit next to it.

I'm told it has two 158mb priams, an ics1, and either 1mb or 2mb ram.
Will post more pics when I get around to opening it up.
Congratulations/terrific, Jay!!!
Prime was a fun/useful system - Wells Fargo (WF) used them to do
quantitative analysis "in the day". I ran the quant group at Fidelity
and we used an 11/70 for our quant (market models, bond arbitrage,
etc.). We had an ongoing working relationship with WF.
Cheers,
Lyle
