Hope this doesn't sound too much like an advert (I used to work for Tadpole).
For your information...

Tadpole produce a VMEBus boardset called the TP881V which holds
upto 2 HYPERModules (this gives configurations of 1 to 8 CPUs).
They also make single processor VMEBus and MultibusII boards with 88100/88200
chipsets.  All of these boards run TPIX/88K, which is Tadpole's port of
DG/UX.
