I just got my new Cray Y-MP emulator from Readysoft, the CrayMax II.

It comes in a small tastfully colored enclosure that can sit comfortably 
in another room (best, an unused room). Put a fan on the top and it 
doubles as a forced-air heating system. 

Now I can finally run all that great Cray pd software that's floating around 
on the "CrayFish" disks.

It comes complete with file transfer software (you supply the winchesters),
interfaces and a detailed 3 page manual. 

Now I can finally run BLAZEMONGER III that way it was designed.

The CrayMax cost only $12 million. For an additional $100K/year ReadySoft
will supply you your very own support person (you provide room and board), ready
to format your disks, change the coolant, or do your shopping.

The file transfer software still seems to have some bugs. You have to break
up the Cray files across standard Amiga disks. I was transferring a 
3.5 G Fluid Dynamics file, and after filling up the 2758th floppy I found
out that it will handle files no larger than 2.2 G and lost the transfer. 
Good thing BLAZEMONGER III is only 1.3 G (lotta sound files).
