I cloned a Logical Microcomputer Co. 16032 computer on
wirewrap cards and interfaced to a memory unit from an MRI
scanner. It was GLACIALLY slow, like it took FIVE clock
minutes to load emacs! I sold the hardware at a VCF show a
couple years ago. Last VCF I sold a bunch of Nat Semi 16032
development boards in a Multibus card rack that was a
multiprocessor accelerator for a VAX 780. It took about 7
of these to roughly double the VAX's speed.
