The last (that we know of) government Cyber was taken out of service in
2007.  Admittedly that was a 8x0 series and, if it had a card reader, I
doubt it was a 415, but still, it was a real live Cyber running real
apps...  (And, for that matter, NOS was maintained as late as 2000 --
there was a Y2K patch for it.)
