We are interested in a machine to be used as a cheaper (and possibly
better) alternative to an array processor for the finite-element
number-crunchers etc. The sort of thing would have the following
properties:
68020 processor, with any extra floating-point stuff
32 MB of store, upgradeable with present chips to at least 128 MB
A standard terminal interface (RS232 or X-25)
Some suitable hardware for medium-speed (48 Kb) file transfer
Does anyone know if such a thing is marketed commercially? Naturally,
we don't expect it to be very cheap.
Thank you for any information.
