Michael,
i manage a machine of the very type you were enquiring about. we had
heard that ICL were suggesting a that Dublin buy a Clan -- is this to
front-end your VME system?
our machine is a Clan 7/200 (identical to CCI's Power6/32), but this
is now replaced as ICL's offering by the "Clan 7/400", which is a more
compact but otherwise similar box. our system is underconfigured with
8Mb memory and 2 CDC 330Mb disks, 64 async lines, TCP/IP over
ethernet, OSI level 4 over Oslan and, recently, X25. it runs a System
V.3-ish kernel over a Berkeley fast filesystem and performance seems
adequate for our usual dozen or so users. we're using ours to offer a
text-processing service based on TeX and LaTeX to staff, postgrads and
undergrads.
mail me direct if you want any more detail or gossip.
