Can anyone give me information on useage of a computer made by
Computer Consoles Incorporated called th Power 6/32 and marketed
in europe by ICL ltd. I am interested in the unit ICL call the
Clan 7 or DRS 500 and wish to know if anyone is using it in
a University mode to support student and researchers. In particular
I am interested in what software of academic interest is available.
Regards and thanks.

P.S. I now think that this computer is the one known as the tahoe
and also that it was OEMed by Harris and Sperry (7000 ?)cczdao@clan.clan.nott.ac.uk (David Osborne) (07/05/89)

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.
