I suspect that you have several. Hence, what is currently in your
repository?
One interesting piece I have is a MicroWay 80860 board. It is
generally described as a single chip Cray 1, and can in bursts
(perhaps at greater rates) compute at 80MFLOPS on a 40MHz
clock. As it happens, this processor is not quite fast enough but,
with about 10 times the power, one could watch movies of flights
about the Mandelbrot set in real time at about 1600 by 1280 pixels
in 24 bit color.
