Nice job to all that were involved.. I could not even think about having a machine down for that long, then restarting it and catching a ride at 84,000 miles and hour

I was pretty impressed. As you say, to be able to shut down a machine for ten years, and then fire it up and have it pick up and work perfectly is something most of us can only dream of

They probably just set parameter A096 [Flying Start En] to "1"
