If you want some technical info or whatever on our (MIMD parallel)
systems just shout and I'll pull some stuff together and get it to
you. We build general-purpose Unix based systems with 2..20 processors.

Right now that's 40MIPs (NS32332), around the first of the year around
150MIPs (NS32532) and we have a DARPA contract to deliver a 1000MIPS
version of our system in the near future (regular machine is called
the Multimax and the future machine is the Ultramax or maybe they
changed it to the Gigamax.) We should have "hundreds" of MIPS in our
mainline product in a year or so (Moto 88K.)

These are pretty big systems but not unaffordable, the top of the line
with gigs of disk is maybe $500K, same price as some typical
time-sharers with a few MIPS.

You seemed generally interested and just getting into it (Hillis' book
was in a Public Library?)
