Encore Computer Corporation has announced the introduction of a new
system called the Series 91

The Encore 91 supports 2 or 4 88k CPUs on a board with 8 88200s.
Full shared memory multiprocessing is supported.

Software consists of UMAX V OS along with Encore's MicroMPX RT OS.
Full multithreading and parallel processing are supported in the
Unix or real-time environments.  Programming interface will be
POSIX 1003.4 compliant.  MicroMPX is based on Encore's (aka Gould/SEL)
MPX-32 Real-time OS for its proprietary Concept/32 CPUs.

Also on the board are 2 SCSI ports, Ethernet, real-time clocks and
interrupts, 16 MB RAM and 4 RS232 ports. 

The single 9U board plugs into a VME chassis.  Expansion memory, 
Encore HSD controllers and Encore's Reflective Memory are
available.
