Hi all, I've been holding on to a very interesting piece of history for quite some time now, it is a processor, in it's original shipping crate, from what I believe to be NEC SX-3 Supercomputer. It was made in 1989-90, and was the Fastest computer made up till 1990. The pin array is quite amazing, 10x10 grid of pin arrays which are respectively composed of gold pins 8x15 (120 per sub array) for a total of 12,000 Pins
I weighed it 37.6 Lbs, by far the heaviest processor I have ever come across. And while it by far amazing to look it, it's part in computing history is where it's real value comes in.
I reach out to the Vintage-computer forum for guidance, are there any NEC supercomputer collectors out there who might know more about these amazing piece?
