I might believe 470V/6.

I was a student at A&M in the mid-70s, and also worked as a student operator at the DPC . I assure you A&M's school colors are MAROON & white (burnt orange belongs to that silly little school in Austin), and Amdahl did trim our new 470/V6 in MAROON. Few people saw it though, as it was kept in a room by itself, kept at about 60 degrees. The powers that be were paranoid about it overheating (Amdahls were air-cooled, as long as they had power for the fans; otherwise they melted). sas On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 9:18 AM, John McKown <john.archie.mck...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 5:37 AM, R.S. <r.skoru...@bremultibank.com.pl> > wrote: > > > W dniu 2018-03-29 o 22:57, Phil Smith pisze: > > > >> Not suggesting that.
