Hmmm I knew the earlier Crays often had motor generator setups and such
but I thoght that was just for power filtering and maybe flywheels for
ups setups. Didn't know they were 400hz! Odd!

Don't know that person off the top of my head. I owned a Maspar MP2 at one
point (small!) and have owned some Cray J90 series (heavy.) I still think
large SGIs are the friendly "supercomputer." In my travels there is a guy
named James who has/had a verrrrry nice Cray collection. Haven't talked to
him in a few years though hope he is doing well. He had some of the 6000
pounders IIRC.
