Does anyone know about a machine "multimax" made by Encore in Mass, which
runs lots of 32032's?  Supposed to be 1.5 to 15 MIPS, 4.2 or SysV.

Does it work?

Don't overlook the Balance machines made by Sequent.  The Balance 8000
is widely installed and accepted.  It has a true multi-processing UNIX
kernel.  We just ordered a Balance 8000 with 8 processors, to be upgraded
to a Balance 21000 with 12 processors in June.  A maximum of 30, 32032,
10 mhz processors can be attached to the Balance 21000.

The Encore Multimax is a real machine which, from the limited reports 
that I've seen, does indeed work as advertised.  Then again, it seems 
that practically every day when I open the business section of the 
Globe it reports on more high ranking people at Encore leaving the 
company.  Check out your vendor when you check out their product.  

Helpfully,
