Message-ID:Date: Fri, 26-Jun-87 10:12:45 EDT Article-I.D.: andrew.YUsc5Ry00UwBcD00-x Posted: Fri Jun 26 10:12:45 1987 Date-Received: Sun, 5-Jul-87 19:58:32 EDT Organization: Carnegie Mellon University Lines: 27 I have been getting bits and pieces of information on "Hot Boxes" that can be attached as co-processors to PCs and clones. Does anyone out ther have any solid information on these babies? That is: -Who makes them. -Operating system to run them. I beleive some of them use UNIX, but, is it necessary to boot the system from them, or a DOS shell will suffice? -Speed (I've heard about humongous speeds.. 30 MIPS?) -Reliability. -Software that can run and/or use these boxes. -Pricing. Any information about any of the above or other points will be greatly appreciated. Bruno W.
