They use to be $10 million (approx) when they first came out. The cheapest X-MP/1 can now be purchased for about $5M without front-end, disks, SSD, and so on. Want to place and order? Send a message to ames!amelia!craywest and add the name "TO: BENCE" in the subject field. Or try craywest@ames-nas.ARPA. George Spix (gas@lanl) could also probably help. Bence Gerber will be happy to sell you one (earliest available machine is 1987). :-) ! --eugene miya NASA Ames Research Center {hplabs,ihnp4,dual,hao,decwrl,allegra}!ames!aurora!eugene emiya@ames-vmsb
