I managed to do some more work on this today.

Adding the various holes present on the board as well as some more silkscreen. (I still have a long way to go on this module, but it is starting to take shape!)

RE: Building the CM-2 connection machine using an SGI Tezro
Hi guys,

Late to the party, but I have one of these boards on my wall, and Irinikus asked me to post a few images.
I'll throw in a Cray X-MP/22 3DMH Input Control Channel board while I'm here, if it's useful to anyone.

Apologies for the dust/reflections. I've included a couple of angles that might be able to be used for component height maps.
Please ping me if you'd like close-up's of any components.

Thanks very much for the pics! Your input’s very much appreciated!!! Smile 

When I get back to this build I’ll definitely implement the required changes!

Please post a high resolution picture of the logic chips at the top, especially the top right of the board so that I can get a good look at the text on all of the chips, as I’ve been unable to do so from the sample that I was working from.

You’re incredibly lucky to have this module in your collection!!! I’m envious! Smile

Done!

In order: Left to right (1,2,3) with a little overlap. 4 is down from 3.
Some text is a little faded - but let me know if you need higher res of anything else.

Oh, I may be late to see this but this is brilliant! Fantastic job!

I've had the pleasure of seeing one of these beasts in person, and I believe I have a close-up photo of the front control panel somewhere.
Gosh, the chassis design of the Connection Machines were beautiful.
