Curt,
>Discovery Computers??? x86 multiprocessors??? Please elaborate, any links
>or picks???
Discovery was produced by Ace Computer Action Enterprises,
Pasadena, CA., c. 1983. It came in at least two models, as
documented by one Bill Whitson in The List in '97.
ACE Discovery 500 83
Discovery 1600 83
I have one Discovery 500, sans disk drives (one floppy,
one MFM 20 gig [whoops, I mean meg :)]. I also have one
Discovery ????, which is likely a slave unit - having no
provision for disk drives (but does have a SemiDisk for
some healthy memory).
This is about as much as I know ('cept one of these ran
a BBS back in the olden days, if memory serves). Don't
find much documentation.
But also, I haven't checked the Computer Museum of
America, here in San Diego, except to ask if they would
like to have them. They already have one, hope they will
take one or both for parts or....
However, I'd be just as happy to see them in use by someone
who has time and energy to make them go.
