Something I'd love to see up close someday...

That would be interesting - looking forward to comments from
Antonio and others about whether this is really possible...

On a related note, I there's a MicroNote about running multiple
MicroVAX II CPUs (KA630, M7606) in a single backplane. Up to 4
in fact (MicroNote #26, on www.ibiblio.org). Has anyone on the
list ever worked with, built, or seen such a beast? Did any
interesting OS research projects of the time use this feature
(I'm thinking V or Mach)?
