What I meant there is a homogeneous multi-processor system of 386s, or
derivatives of such. Primarily to exclude previous members of the 80x86
family. It was not meant to exclude other processor families either, I just
figure the first multi-processor OS/2 will use Intel chips. If not 386/486/
586, then perhaps 860s.
