Also, apparently they managed to get Mac OS running on a Macintosh emulator on the Cray??
“.. they sometimes ran the first XMP as a single user MacOS emulator … They had a custom built frame buffer and a mouse hooked up to the IOP (Input/Output Processor).”

@DosFox > Seymour said he thought it was odd that Apple bought a Cray to design Macs because he was using Macs to design Crays. He sent me his designs for the Cray 3 in MacDraw on a floppy. I’d like to see those.
