My understanding is that the Nighthawk will be a follow on to their Tahoe
offering, doubling the cpu speed and allowing at least a 2 processor version.
I believe that they have OEMed Masscomp 68k workstations in the past, but
have no knowledge of an '030 multiprocessor in the works.  Wouldn't be
suprised to see one, though.
