Steve Chen left Cray Research in 1987 to start Supercomputer Systems Inc. which was funded by IBM. Actually the Cray T3D team was led by yours truly -- a different Steve (yes, I'm still out there somewhere). The project also had hardware design leadership from Steve Oberlin and software design leadership from Steve Reinhardt. That makes at least three other Steves besides the one who was not involved. A couple of technically oriented videos were made by these folks describing the system. (http://www.bibl.ita.cta.br/video105.html and http://www.bibl.ita.cta.br/video104.html) These were available as streaming video for a while but may have been retired by now.......in any case some copies do remain shelved at few campus sites.
