      A microprocessor(s) designed for parallel processing made by Inmos
      Pretty well but it takes awhile to explain :-)
      Unknown, requires support hardware and software
      It should be able to but nobody has been selling them yet for Amigas
      You can get them for PC's now (see [ick] BYTE magazine)
