>You forgot the 5840 - an even slower 580.

I never forgot that one.
I was a capacity analyst at the Ontario Government when that came out.
What a broo-ha-ha.
Many heads rolled, and it took a year before Amdahl 'fessed up.
We got a 5860 out of it, at no additional cost.

Of course, does anybody remember the HDS processor fiasco?

At least, Amdahl admitted their mistake -- Hitachi never did -- at least to us.
