Here's a
neato question: You mentioned coprocessor
boards, and in fact some kinda sorta functioned that
way (in some sense - stuff got offloaded to the mpu on
the board I guess). But what were some early ancillary
processor boards for the pc/at/?. That is, where you
plugged a whole 'nother puter into your main puter,
and got to run separate apps off of that? Hmmmmm
I'm remembering a couple of those in Byte, which I stopped reading
sometime
in the eighties. A 32032? (I never could keep the numbers of that
family
straight). A Z8000 for sure. Maybe a 68K of some sort. It's all very
fuzzy...
