The system refered to above is visible next to the
TOAD-1 in this video
clip, arround 30 seconds in.
I've know for a while that it's been a 36 bit
machine under the hood but
I was told that it is limited in some way, perhaps not a full pager. It
would be fun to get some details. (And if you can get one for yourself
of course).
I'm not aware of any architectural limitations to the Toad-2. It may be
that the idea that it is limited in some arose from the fact that, like
any other general purpose CPU, it's not fast enough to be the routing engine
in the applications for which the DarkStar line is intended.
