Re: [TCLUG:21592] Pentium Pro's

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

i forget who made it.. i belive intel custom made it for a supercomputer
startup.. i belive it had something to do with one of cray's
partners.. i'll see if I can still get ahold of it.. it's not an item that
moves very fast.. (wanted too much for it)

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
