Somebody asked what actual users thought about KSR sw/hw reliability.
Here in Munich, the KSR-1 was well received and liked, allthough with
its 32 processors, speedups weren't so great. The second generation
machine hardly ever ran a day and once destroyed its complete file
system, if I'm correctly informed. So, I think hardly anyone got ever
any serious work done on the second machine ...

Cheers,
