Hi,

The only ones I've ever heard of are Intel's development systems, and I
think most of these were "loaned" rather
than purchased. I suspect Intel
recalled these when the magnitude of the flop was
discovered and
destroyed them (just speculation).
A friend of mine worked for BiiN which developed a database co-processor
based initially on the 432.
Later the effort was shifted to use other processors, and eventually it
was just a Siemens/Intel effort
before finally being dissolved completely.
I have a Multibus 432 processor board that would probably work
somewhere, if it was
ever any good. I bought it at a swap meet from someone around LA, so i
don't know
if it ever worked, however.
