Cray Computer Corp, Colorado Springs, says it will start shipping its first scaled-down versions of the much-delayed Cray-3 in a bid to raise cash. Prices start at $2.95m for a uniprocessor version of the 16-processor machine. The company has predicted that it may run out of money as early as July without new customers or an infusion of cash from the outside. Cray-3 systems with one, two and four processors will be available for shipment in mid-1993. Eight-processor versions will follow at year-end with 16-processor machines shipping in 1994. The company also said it is working out details of a tentative $5m settlement of a shareholder suit filed after it lost its only Cray-3 customer.
