The iapx 432 was an experiemntal system which while leading the way for a letter system, was not commercially successful. However its decendant, the Biin gemini is an excellent system with many of the features of the 432 done better based on the experiences with the 432. I would strongly suggest looking at the Biin Gemini system as an excellent example of a modern object based fault tolerant design Dave David Farber; Prof. of CIS and EE, U of Penn, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6389 Tele: 215-898-9508(off); 215-274-8292 (home); FAX: 215-274-8192; Cellular: 302-740- 1198 "The fundamental principle of science, the definition almost, is this: the sole test of the validity of any idea is experiment." -- R.
