RJ> For sale: "Amiga" based on Bell Labs optical processor prototype (60%
 RJ> 68k code compatible). Runs Workbench 1.3 or _LESS_ **ONLY** and many
 RJ> programs (non-fpu intensive). Requires 3'x 3' cubic area and MUCH air
 RJ> flow. Optical processor is 1st generation (now up to 30th generation!),
 RJ> but runs ~21,000X 7.15909 68k speed. If we don't get a response *VERY*
 RJ> soon, it will be donated to the Clarefax Technology Museum in Imet, Sri
 RJ> Lanka. Respond by June 14th.
        As much as I'd love this beast personally, I'm even more interested
in doing a story on it!  Can you put me in contact with the owner of this
rather unusual computer?  Has anyone done any feasability studies into using
the thing?  I'm not sure you can appreciate just how fast a 7.14MHz Amiga is,
but it's about equivalent to a 20MHz 286.  I can't even guess at the raw
power of 21,000 of those!  Since there is still much that can be used with
the 1.3 operating system this machine could do some REALLY serious work in
some very high-end fields.  For one thing, it would probably be the world's
fastest network server.  It could be one of the fastest realtime 3D graphics
systems in existance, period.  Any information on this would be greatly
appreciated!  For faster response you can send me E-mail at:
donstrat@initco.net or telephone me 10a-8p Mountain time at 406-452-3238.
Thank you for your help!
