I'm looking for references to the BBN Butterfly computer.
Can anyone help?

Thanks, Steve Frysinger

There is a brief article in the AAAI-86 Proceedings, in the Engineering
section.

Does anyone know the current configurations of the BBN Butterfly parallel
processor?  The last time I heard about it was 2 years ago or so and they
were configured with 256 MC68020/68881 pairs.  Is this still the hardware,
or have they switched?
Anybody from BBN watching out there?
