And Intel sure
sold quite a few i860s. I would bet that most i860s
ended up as coprocessor cards in PeeCees, where they did one task and
did not run into the dreaded pipeline flush context switch problem.
I know I've seen i860s in graphics boards. I think one of the NeXTs used
them as well.
Somehwre I have an HP graphics unit (I forget the model number) which
links to the 'grpahics bus' on an HP9000/300 or 9000/400 series machine.
I am pretty sure there's an i860 in there (along with a lot of HP custom
silicon which is why I've not spent any time with it yet).
