Is there any inexpensive shared memory multiprocessor
hardware available? Our application is for academic use
in a course on parallel processing, to give the students
some hands on experience.

The speed of the hardware is not especially important.
What we have in mind is some add in boards for our existing
Suns, MacIIs, or PCs. There are several companies that make
this kind of hardware with several transputers per board,
but none that has shared memory.
