We are currently working on all systems.
The Cyber 930 console has been converted to XT-IDE with 128MB disk on module, the 960 is completely assembled and is currently being repaired.
The 930 has a problem with its batteries and the 5V power supply from CEAG is defective and is being overhauled.
E10k and Cyber 4000 are also moving into the operating range.
Last year we mainly took care of the CDC 960. It’s time to continue with the small Cray.
The Cray is running, I am very happy that there was no bigger problem. Now we can take care of the UNICOS and the network.
We are proud to be represented with the Computermuseum München in the 40th anniversary issue of Chip. Over 6 pages you can learn more about us and our Cyber 960. We would like to thank the Chip for making this possible. More of the magazine chip under www.chip.de, at chip-kiosk.de you can buy it.

A lot has happened in the last few weeks:
Here are some impressions:

We are very happy that our little Cray got so much attention. First place together with the arcade machines of “For Amusement Only” was the result of all the work.

I would like to thank our team and the organisers of the LRZ and VCFe.
It’s done, our Cray is in the LRZ. From tomorrow until Sunday you can visit the Cray and if we have enough power, the machine will also be operable from the terminal.
The 19th annual “Vintage Computer Festival Europa” will take place on April 28th and 29th 2018. We exhibit our Cray! Come and see the machine live at the Leibnitz Rechenzentrum in Garching, just a bit North of Munich.
