The bus chipis ready, at least that's waht they told me about a month
ago, but of course #import standard.disclaimer.h

At them same time i was told that NeXT has internally running some
multi-processing machines, but that there are still a few minor things
to be solved (e.g.: the bus chip was not ready until recently; they
use simply additional motherboards, so they can't ship such a solution
as ppl might try to attach multiple Megapixel Displays, which is of
course too much for the power supply, etc.)

They told me too, that sooner or later there will certainly be a
multiprocessor configuration, after all this was one of the reasons
they picked the MACH OS...
