> Would something like a Purdue Dual VAX count?
I would say it would.
Just out of curiosity, are you referring to a
VAX-11/782?
No. I don't know much about the Purdue hack, but I know it wasn't a
782. The 782 was DEC doing a dual 780 their way; the Purdue machine
was George Gobel (I think that was the name) doing it his way. I don't
know enough about either way to be comptent to contrast them, but
everything I've heard says they are quite distinctly different.
(I know this because, time was, I was OS support for a robotics
researcher who was using a dual-CPU VAX - a MicroVAX-II with a KA620
added on - and as a result I learned a little about other
multiprocessor VAXen.)
