[comp.sys.encore] General Multimax Info

(My apologies for posting this twice, but I goofed up the
subject line the first time -- Dave)

I have a few questions about the Encore Multimax:

What is the latest microprocessor used in the Multimax?  (The
last I know of is an NS32532.)  What's the clock rate?

What configurations do they come in - more specifically, what
is the largest number of processors they support?

What cache coherence scheme is used?  (If possible, be more 
specific than "snooping caches")

Has any significant improvements been made to the Nanobus?
(Last I heard, it had 80ns cycle time and was a split-transaction
bus...)

Where is a good place to read about technical announcements for
companies like Encore?   

Feel free to email me, and I'll post if there's sufficient interest.
