The systems Rich discussed are strictly Instructional and Research systems. It hasn't been clear to me in some of the postings from other centers whether or not they have to perform their administrative computing using the same facilities. A few other notable omissions from Rich's list of facilities at Purdue: CDC Cyber 170/720 with much ancillary equipment (particularly graphics) supports a CAD/CAM research lab. IBM 4341 with large terminal cluster for teaching and research in Chemical Engineering. 2 Vax-11/780's running VMS in High Energy Physics. PDP-11/70 "host" for statewide network of DEC mini-mini's known as the Agricultural Data Network. Another IBM (4341?) recently installed in Electrical Engineering for CAD work. ... ... and the beat goes on! Just trying to keep track of all of these "mid-sized" systems like VAXen and IBM 43xx machines is a major undertaking. -- Tom Putnam {decvax|harpo|ihnp4|inuxc|seismo|ucbvax}!pur-ee!pucc-h:ac4
