The "Convex C3480" from 1991 (at the end of the lower hallway):

- 1GB RAM

- 0.8GFlops

- #1 in Spain in 1992

- USD 1M

- huge tape drive!

This source lists it at 0.4 GFlops though (search for C3480): https://www.rediris.es/jt/jt2004/archivo/ficheros/Mateo_Vale...

- 16G disk storage

- in service from 10/91-01/98



I just showed it today to a friend. It's truly marvelous.

Just next to it there is a Connection Machine 2!
