May I suggest that you try directing a  similar request for information to
encore!postmaster.  I'm sorry I don't have any better names I can give you.

Even though we have a MultiMax here in my building, and even though I myself
use it occasionally, I don't know a lot about it.  I do know that it is a
tightly coupled multiprocessor (I.e. shared memory) whic can run either BSD
UNIX or System V UNIX (but not both at the same time like the Sequent and
Pyramid machines) and that the newer ones use National SemiConductor 32332
CPU chips.  The older ones used NS 32032 chips.
