[ex-convex] Re: Fwd: Audio interview that mentions my Convex

[aswood at t-online.de]

A very interesting story.

Now we do need detailed information, schematics, maintenance procedures and software for C1,C2,C38 as well for SPP systems. My SPP1600XA, which I used e.g. to heat my cellar stopped operation due to breaking the voltage limit using psu_util.


@Camiel: would you like to swap one of your C1 for an X or S-Class? My S-Class is using 48 PA-Risc processors.
