As long as we are on the topic of "Distributed OS", it brought to mind
a discussion about a year ago.  I remember someone mentioning a 680xx
based OS which had multiple 680xx processors tightly coupled.  The company
was based (if I remember correctly) in Massachusetts.  I think it balanced
job loads, but especially handled inter-processor communications problems.
Someone had said that it was like UNIX or OS-9, but "nicely" handled the
multiple processor aspects.

Does anyone remember the discussion or know of such a system?

 me I see!  But what am I?"
"You are you. Just as I am me!" said the wise old butterfly.  "Nothing more,
 nothing less."
