Actually, the announcement was that Intel had admitted the failure of the i860 as a general-purpose CPU. They still intend to support it in graphics and embedded applications; speculation is that they will also support it for the iPSC MPP systems. No followon has been announced, but one would obviously be needed if they do indeed plan to continue to use i860-like chips in the iPSC. -- Larry Meadows The Portland Group lfm@pgroup.com
