I know, but then again look at the IMP resurrection. Sometimes it is a matter of the right people finding out.

I would assume that since enough of the cray is mapped out to run a basic OS, that other tools could be fashioned to work with it (gcc?)?

Who knows what lies in the future/past…. Hopefully someone sitting on a bunch of old cray stuff will come forward one day.

It would be really cool to have a running COS or UniCOS at some point but it looks like the chances of that happening are pretty slim 🙁
