We had one at school , and I had the privilege (emphasis on privilge)
of being systems manager for it.

Though I am not sure how it compares with other like machines, the Max
is definitely top quality hardware,I did a lot of programming using the
very good parallel library (C) . We did have some initial software
problems with it.

Our configuration had 6 NS 332s and weitek floating point.

Also when necassary we had decent tech support from Encore.
