- Soon, I hope, the folks working with Mach on the PC532
- will be able to make their work available to those without
- UNIX source licences. When that happy day comes, I'd like
- to use the SCSI bus as an IPC channel between my PC532 and
- my NeXT. What do people think of this idea? I already plan
- to write the relevant drivers, but what schemes are there for
- sharing compute power between dissimilar processors?
- I could manually assign various tasks to each processor, but
- that would take the fun out of it :-)
-
- Well, there it is. Lemme know what you think.
