We are currently looking for an array-processor for our  SUN
workstation.  I was wondering if anyone has successfully im-
pelemented such a device and if there is UNIX support avail-
able  for  it.  So far we have looked at ones offered by SKY
and ANALOGIC(AP-490), and haven't had much luck with  either
of them, since they are both DMA devices.  I recently saw an
ad for a MARINCO APB-3000 array processor (they claim its  a
10  MEGAFLOP  vector  processor  and uses only one slot) for
$4300.00(Multibus).

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

                                       Thanks,
