	I seem to remember that the 8600 was supposed to
	be a cluster of four 7600's sharing a memory.  At
	the time (about 1973), Cray was said to already
	be working on a 9600.  Shortly after this he left
	CDC.  I never heard that any 8600's were shipped;
	rumor had it that the plans for the 9600 went with
	Cray.

	maybe someone else can take this up to a 10600....
