I'm probably wrong, but aren't they just lots of interconnected
processor-memory machines though? OK, the big picture looks a bit
different from a typical machine, but I'd assumed that on a smaller
scale internally they weren't anything particularly ground-breaking.
Very little in the way of CM resources out there on the 'net though so I
know virtually nothing of the hardware other than it looks darn cool ;)

Hmm,
interesting. In what ways other than the processor-memory model
could things have evolved in the early years? It'd be intersting to
speculate where computing might be today if it had evolved down some
totally different path very early on...
How about the model with memory and processor being one? The "closest"
production machines like this were probably the CM-1 and CM-2.
