I suppose it depends on how you count "CPUs". Any system with a hard
drive has at least two and probably threeCPUs; make that SCSI and
the tally goes up to four. Add a tape drive or laser printer...
Heck, even my ancient Durango has two CPUs in the base confiugration--
both 8085s. (one to run the printer).
Given that the C64 used a 6502 CPU in the disk drive, I wonder what
collection of peripherals would give 3 CPUs there.
