My apologies for not informing the faithful. Pyramid Technology has announced the "Corporate MIServer," a high-end multiprocessing system that employs four to twelve 12 MIPS CPUs. The CPU is Pyramid's third-generation commercial-RISC design, implemented in 2-micron CMOS, and is completely binary compatible with the 90x and Series 9000 CPUs. The MIServer is really an evolutionary product, rather than revolutionary; it provides a compatible upward migration path for folks who are outgrowing their 9845's. That much you could figure out from the trade press. I am writing a longer, more technical article, to be posted later. In the meantime, those who have specific questions can e-mail them to me. >The article also said the that machine was running OSx 5.0. Is 5.0 >out for the older machines as well? Not yet, but it will be. We're in second round beta test right now; FCS is supposed to be in June or thereabouts.
