There were never any usable i486 SMP hardware. The i486 CPU was not designed to do SMP so getting two CPUs to talk together (IPIs and all that) required a lot of glue-logic, which never got chip-ified. A few prototypes were built, but nothing ever reached production, least of all HP's 1000xi486 chip "mainfram" project. -- = Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe = Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence= .
