I'm sure with enough hacking, one can get a pair of 386's running in SMP
mode. Does that mean that they need to bother everyone on the list about
it? How many people do you think want (let's forget about "can" for a
minute) to bother physically hacking their processor boards to do this?
I suspect scant few.
Again, when you consider the amount of time to get this type of system
running, it makes little (if any) economic sense.
