Not exactly "by cutting a wire" but with a console command, the Amdahl
470/V5 could be upgraded to the performance of a V6, and the 470/V7

I have a shiny new Icom IC-7300 transceiver. (
Heh. In a similar vein, in June 1996 I spent a fun-filled week onsite at a New
York insurance company overseeing testing of a custom program written by some
Israeli contractors.
The project used five rented PCs. I get there and start setting up: one of the
