Subject: DSP9000 Compute Server

Are there any experiences with an APOLLO (actually ALLIANT) DSP9000
Compute Server (integrated in a ring or as a standalone host or both)?

We would like to buy one for our institute as a number-cruncher
for the APOLLOs *AND* as a host for directly connected terminals.

The DEC-Lobby fights the project with the argument, that there
are no experiences with DSP9000 in a multi-user environment.
