I have never seen a technical summary of the models XMS or Y/MP-EL.
What are their vital statistics?
If the XMS is really X/MP compatible, then I guess all I need is the
clock speed. If not, what is the maximum sustainable memory bandwidth
from main memory to vector registers?
Ditto for the YMP/EL.
Thanks!
