I believe that I have everything necessary to restore the 88k machine,
with the possible exception of time (at the moment:-).

Is there theoretically enough documentation left to build such a card?
That would at least bring such a restoration into the realms of
'possible' (albeit a lot of work!)
m88k-based hardware really appeals, for some odd reason...
cheers

Yes, I have both a 68k Butterfly and an 88k TC2000. I began the
restoration
of the 68k machine, but was thwarted by the lack of the multibus

worked for BBN Advanced
Computers Inc
where we build a NUMA parallel processor called the Butterfly. [...]
Ah yes, I remember this machine!
Anyone got one in their collection? ISTR it was quite popular for
people doing parallel processing research.
