[comp.parallel] Parallel Hardware Manufacturers

I am trying to put together a list of companies which built and sold
parallel computers between 1985 and 1990, where "parallel" has purposely
been left undefined for the moment.  If you know of, or are working for,
a firm which you feel should be on this list but isn't, I would be
grateful if you could provide me with its name and a contact person. 

Thanks,

Don't forget MasPar, Encore and Wavetrace.  BTW, Multiflow is no mow, so
ain't ETA.  And what's so parallel about Stardent?

...don't forget good old IBM. Their high end main frames provide multiple
processors and an excellent parallelizing Fortran compiler.
