Don't overlook the Balance machines made by Sequent.  The Balance 8000
is widely installed and accepted.  It has a true multi-processing UNIX
kernel.  We just ordered a Balance 8000 with 8 processors, to be upgraded
to a Balance 21000 with 12 processors in June.  A maximum of 30, 32032,
10 mhz processors can be attached to the Balance 21000.
