[rescue] If the price wouldnt be that high... Cray CS6400's

[John Mothershead]

Nice machines, I've been looking for one of these for a while. There seem to
be several hurdles,

One; you need to buy 13 of them
Two; you need an OS
Three; you need a SS5 and an unobtainable S-bus card and cable
Four; memory.

other than that, it seems like a reasonable deal. :) We, may, have the
storage space and the $$ for a bulk purchase of all the machines. We'd
probably keep two, one for production and one for parts, and maybe
cannibalize one for more processors etc. The rest we'd sell, or trade in
order to get a viable system. In order to keep these systems from the scrap
heap, we'd simply sell them for what we paid plus shipping. If anyone is
interested please contact me. If there is interest, and help I'll see if I
can put this together. It will take a little work to convince the warehouse
and the $$$ people.

It would be a shame to let this opportunity go to waste!
