And I seem to recall some number-crunching board
with an i860 on it or
something.
By Sky Computing, maybe? I have a Sun 670MP with a couple of
coprocessors made by them. It's in storage and I don't have the
inventory handy, but IIRC each VME board had an i960 controller and 4
i860 coprocessors (or maybe vice versa), each with 4MB of cache. It's
effectively a huge FPU.
I'm pretty sure that in looking it up I found references to the same
sort of product for other platforms.
