Andre, The specs we have are preliminary, but here is what we plan to make available (Q394 – the 060 is officially available): Multiple processor support – up to four MC68060 processors working in parallel. No application changes are required. A new setpatch and accompanying utilities will be provided. Memory – Up to 256 megs of memory using industry standard 72 pin SIMM sockets (no propreitary memory to deal with). Zorro III board design – ZorroIII only board. Up to 4 MP boards could be used in a single machine (up to 16 processors and 1 gig of memory). We are going to try to stay around the $1,000 price barrier (one CPU 0K). Additional processors could be purchased seperately and just plugged in by the customer.. nothing special would be required. The multiprocessing is completely transparent to the Amiga OS.
