Yes, IBM and Intel jointly developed the Wizard card and still might
be available from Intel.

There is another i860 card available with up to four i860's on board.
It is available by PRPQ from your local branch office.  It does not
run under OS/2 though, it runs under DOS or AIX (IBM's UNIX).
The best compiler for i860 I've been told is from the Portland Group.
If your branch office comes up dry, I can get you a contact.
BTW, it is NOT cheap, so prohibitive for home use, but company use
is not too bad (approx. $20-30K range).
