Uppsala University. (Thank god!)

About. It's on a 16A 3-phase 410V connection.

I've put some picture online of it. Look at:
http://krille.update.uu.se/~bqt/8650_1.jpg
(and 8650_2 and 8650_3 for more)

Krille is the 8650 itself, so you'll look at a picture of the machine
feeding you the picture. Although not exactly realtime (I took those
pictures last year).

If someone have cards for an 8600/8650 they don't use, I wouldn't mind
getting them. :-)
The machine currently have 52Meg of memory, and the FPA. So, except for
more memory, it would be spares, though.

Yes. Personal workstation, you know...
It have six RA92, ethernet, a TU81, a Viking SCSI tape controller and a
DMF32.
I might throw a few more external devices on to the machine for
fun. Anyone have a cab kit for a TKU50 and an external TK50? I have a
TKU50 controller... :-) Hmmm, maybe hook that TK25 in as well...

What? After all these years, someone is on to us? Who told you?
