Arche Technologies Inc and San Jose, California-based Chips & Technologies Inc have jointly developed an Intel 80486-based multi-processing system which will compete head-on with the likes of Compaq Computer’s SystemPro and Sun Microsystems workstations. The system will use Chips & Technologies’ M/PAX multi-processing architecture and will come with up to six processors and a top performance of 70 MIPS running the Santa Cruz OperationCorollary Inc multi-processing version of SCO Unix. With up to 256Mb RAM and 1.6Gb disk, it will have 14 slots – six of them EISA-compatible – and is to be marketed by Arche. It’s due in the second quarter of next year.
