In search of RLX blade software

I’ve been given a couple of RLX blade server chassis loaded with blades (one with Transmeta Crusoe cpu’s, and one with Pentium III cpu’s). I hope you’ll allow me to count these as “vintage” because of their interesting origin: the Pentium III loaded chassis was part of a 768 node computer

Looking for Convey Linux

Here’s another long shot… Does anyone have access to a copy of Convey Linux? Or any documentation for the HC-1 or HC-2? Convey was a company formed in 2007 by a few ex-Convex employees. I have several Convex super computers in my collection, and now I have a Convey HC-2 as well. The HC-2 is

For a change, rather than a request for help, here¹s a success story: I managed to bring a Convex C220 (dual vector CPU mini supercomputer from 1988) back to life. Both CPUs are working, but I¹m running with a single CPU because of the power it draws with two CPUs. Next challenges: the Convex C1,
