Originally from NZ, he lives in the US somewhere with a huge barn, full of vintage computing hardware, plus a small corner where his wife can do her scrapbooking <https://www.youtube.com/@jpkiwigeek>.
The channel hasn?t been inactive in some years. Somewhere in there you
will see his attempts at getting a monstrous SGI server cluster,
consisting of 5 graphics/video units coupled to 5 computing units (each
the size of, say, a hotel room minifridge), to start up properly with one computing unit always consistently in control, until he has to give up because the power supply has failed.
Still trying to understand the point of that 1990s hardware with
multiboard graphics units positively bristling with video connections--I think they were to do real-time graphics rendering direct to videotape.
Meanwhile I believe Mike Ross at some point moved *to* New Zealand
bringing some part (all?) of his collection with him: http://www.corestore.org/compute.htm

That?s a pretty terrifying collection to bring to such a small country ...
Any idea where he?s ended up?
