You'll need one of these to resurrect Cray Blitz:

1/10 scale, binary compatible, and complete with love seat:

I'll leave any contact work to Bob. I understand that Fenton has gotten a CAL (Cray Assembly Language) assembler working but not a Fortran compiler.

Umm, yes , this is the problem

What is one going to do with an 1/10th scale 33MHz vector processing unit!

All of the opcodes and registers for the Cray-1 are described in Base-8 (octal)

I've entered machine code before (6502, Z80), but never in octal.

Here's something marginally more useful
