IBM has advertised an 8 cpu server for several years. I was never able to
get anyone to give me a quote though. There is a French organization (or
company) that implemented a multi-pentium connection scheme. I think it
is called the CBUS. As I remember, it's an interesting system, but totally
incompatible with the Intel MP stuff.
