The Celerity C1260 dyadic system, as well as the new Celerity 6000 system, 
runs in symmetrical multiprocessing mode, *not* master-slave mode.  While
portions of the Celerity UNIX kernel are single-threaded, they can be 
executed on either processor of the C1260 (and any of the up to 4 scalar
processors on the Celerity 6000).
