I'll leave any contact work to Bob. I understand that Fenton has gotten a CAL (Cray Assembly Language) assembler working but not a Fortran compiler.

Umm, yes , this is the problem :D
What is one going to do with an 1/10th scale 33MHz vector processing unit!
All of the opcodes and registers for the Cray-1 are described in Base-8 (octal)
I've entered machine code before (6502, Z80), but never in octal.

Here's something marginally more useful
