The (now 16K) Connection Machine
as seen through a window from the demo room.
The old demo room with two
small windows into the computer room. Since we are about to move the
CM to our new computer room this space is used for the somewhat
unusual combination of storage and the console of an SGI Onyx.

The DataVault (also through a window
from the outer room).
The CM as seen from inside the computer
room. Part of the curved DataVault can be seen to the left. Since the
CM would only be here temporarily before moving to the new computer
room, we decided to leave all cables above the floor. That is (part
of) the reason it looks so messy.
The CM frontends
mowitz.pdc.kth.se (a Sun Sparcserver 690, the large cabinet)
and on top of mowitz fredman.pdc.kth.se (a Sun Sparcstation2,
the small boxes). The deskside box in front is nyx.nada.kth.se,
an SGI Onyx VTX.
