Hmm... my Origin2000 *might* be looking for a home, and so might one
other at York.  That would make a 32-CPU 2-rack machine (both have the
necessary router boards and I have the Craylink cables) plus some
peripherals.  Interested?

Do you want an O2 or two?  There might be some moderately large
Challenge machines available too.
