Ummm, I'm sure that Arete, Encore, Pyramid, and Sequent would be happy to tell you about 12 MIPS superminicomputers with fast busses that sell for a lot less than $400K for a fully configured system. Elxsi and Convex too, I think. I can't believe this posting does these machines justice. Could someone post some technical info? <csg>
