I know of a DELTA machine which is the Delta prototype version of the
Intel iPSC/2 i860 based TOUCHSTONE parallel supercomputer.  But the
only version of it I knew was being delivered was a 532-node model
for CalTech, so it may not be the same one.    However, JPL and CalTech 
have close ties, so it may be the same machine.
