Actually, my employer, Myrias Research Corporation, shipped a whole boxfull
of the little devils about a week and a half ago. It is the first ship of
a product with a 68040 in it, as far as we know. It was a half-cage of
processors, totalling 32 68040's, each with 8 Meg of RAM (and of course a
whole bunch of glue to make 'em work together). The chips were pre-production
ones, so we're not supposed to give details about speed. There were no real
performance surprises, however, and they hum along quite nicely.
(Gee, I hope I don't get into trouble for mentioning this...)

And you say this plugs right into the 3000 CPU slot? :-) >-- >Chris Gray usenet: {myrias.com,uunet.uu.net!myrias,alberta!myrias}!ami-cg!cg > CIS: 74007,1165 -- / (Rotate head 90 degrees for full effect) | BUNGEEEEEEEE! |---------------------------------------------------------------------->=<o \ Pete Ashdown pashdown@esunix ...utah-cs!esunix!pashdown
