[rescue] 360 from Nuremberg

[Mike Ross]

Well I need two things, one rather rare, one almost extinct:

- A Sun machine to use for a front-end for the Connection Machines, a
SPARCserver-630 would be ideal since I know one has been used for this job
elsewhere.
- The special VME board, made by TMC, that allows the above machine to act
as a front-end!

Thanks

Mike
