Eight, actually. My employer is about to be, and there are quite
a few others. With design cycles measured in years rather than

quickly as the PC world. Indeed, the code is being developed on a 25-
year-old super, but admittedly only because it's available and
compatible.
Besides, SV1ex machines are still pretty pricey, and T90s are
pretty difficult to find, and WAY out of any reasonable price range.

The code is
being developed on a (slow but cheap to run) YMP-EL,
and it
will eventually run on a (fast but expensive to run) SV-1.
Who is actually still using an SV1 in production? It is a ten year
old super.
