  It was demonstrated at UNIX Expo, among other places. WIll handle 386
or 486, although I'm told that the 1st CPU must be 386. This was
developed for the Zenith (I believe it's called the model Z1000)
multi-processor machine. Now that ZDS has been sold I don't know the
status of the project.

  The version I saw at Expo looked really good. Like any multi-cpu
system it becomes outstanding with pipes. I didn't see any info on a
multi-make, although that's one of the best reasons to have the extra
CPUs. I'm not sure thay don't have it, just that I didn't see it.
