since when can a Cray 1 do over 800,000,000 floating point operations
per second?  the figures and benchmarks show the Cyber 205 as being
faster...

(this is not to note the god-less Cray 1 instruction set, the brain damaged
1/x unit...)

p.s. i have heard things about a Cyber 208... and CDC folks out there to
     comment?

p.p.s. what has happened to the idea of UN*X for the Cyber 200 systems?
