like I say, what is there is pretty important to recover.

Around 1985, Tony Anderson of Intel gave me a tour of the Intel Scientific
Computers operations at their Oregon facility. At the time they were
building the 80286-based iPSC/1. Seemed like pretty neat stuff.
That was where I learned that one shouldn't stick one's hands into a

All other tapes are far beyond repair, they are physically damaged
I double checked what I have been able to dump successfully:
iPSC/860 Extensions Software R3.3
iPSC/860 Extensions Software R3.3.1
iPSC/860 Optional Software R3.3.1
There were two more tapes - fortran compilers and forge software

I can take the Titan off your hands if you like, I have really wanted this
machine. I am serious, and with $$.
Here is some things for you if you decide to keep it and turn me down.
A great book, all about its development and includes technical details about
the Titan bus, and an intro By Go
I'm making arrangements to have four (mini-)supercomputers from the
1980's shipped to me. In the mean time, I'm trying to find out what I
can about these systems, so this is a fishing expedition.
The systems are:
* Convex C1-XP
* Convex C1-XL
* Intel iPSC/860
* Ardent Titan

Hmmm I knew the earlier Crays often had motor generator setups and such
but I thoght that was just for power filtering and maybe flywheels for
ups setups. Didn't know they were 400hz! Odd!

The tapes are already spoken few weeks ago and they will travel to US. I

So I'm working my way (more slowly than I probably should be) through my
systems, ditching ancient on-board batteries before they leak...
In the case of the Mac SE's, are there any critical settings which I should
make a note of before removing the on-board battery? Should I expect any
issue

You just made me think that I need to go check on some of my stuff and see what
the batteries are doing… Been quite a while since I used a lot of them.
On an old Mac, quite often the reason for a machine to not boot at all would be
a dead PRAM battery, so complete removal may not be an option. Y

Jules,
No - go ahead and remove. The battery retains the PRAM data, which is
generally not a user-accessible feature in the way CMOS RAM is on x86. The
PRAM will be restored on next boot - but obviously, some things (like
virtual memory) will need to be re-enabled. Not a big deal at all.
On Sun,
I've been making a debugging ROM board to test out the various
parts of the KIM-1. It is based on taking over the KIM at reset
and running test.
So far I've got two test working. One is a basic, is it running test
that just blinks a light on the debug board.
The next is a test of the first 1K

The Convex C38xx as well the Fujitsu VPP used isolation transformers.
Luckily I was able to save the Transformer for my C3880.

Most of these boards only do one or two types of eproms.
I have a bit blaster that only does 2708/04 EPROMs.
A couple hours on an extender card should be enough to
figure one out, with a 'scope.
They are usually not to complicated.
