We are looking at hardware to use in teaching parallel programming
and operating systems for Canisius College in Buffalo, NY.  One
obvious idea is to get some transputer boards and plug them into
PCs.  

Are there are any other ideas people can think of?  We don't want
to spend more than about $75,000.  Our goal is actual parallel hard-
ware that allows our students to see real speed-up, so a purely
software solution isn't desirable.  We do not have the megabucks to
buy a Sequent or a Multimax.
