Can't be -- Illiac 4 was either not yet in existence, or alive and
well -- certainly not scrapped.  I remember it was a running system
while I was at the U of Illinois in the late 1970s -- occasionally
visiting the building where it was supposed to have been installed.
(It ended up on a military base instead, because DoD was paying for
the machine and decided they didn't like to put it on a campus full of
hippy protestors... but by then the building had already been
constructed.)
