Earlier today, I was reading an article in a magazine
that I get (Science
News) that said Supercomputers were made faster by connecting them in
parallel (and I think someone here was talking about doing it with a bunch
of C64's). That got me thinking. - I have a bunch of old computers, some
network cards, and a big table in my basement.
There is a fellow in comp.sys.cbm a few months ago who mentioned that he was
designing a par. op.sys. around half a dozen linked 128's. Not sure how far he
progressed (the mail feed I get now doesn't carry that particular newsgroup),
but he'd gone quite some way into designing it.... will look up my archives &
see if I can extract the relevant info.
