Because I'm bored, and there are more people posting here than on the other forum I'm hanging around on right now...
What are the earliest examples you guys know of multiprocessors in home/office type desktop systems?
Some mention of dual 386 servers on here, and I guess FPUs count, in a restricted way... although I'd draw the line at upgrade (e.g. Amiga 030/040 accellerators) or cross-compatibility (Mac DOS) cards where only one CPU was 'active' at a time.
Anything earlier? Multi-Z80 based? 8086? 6502?
Actually I heard some C64 stuff offloaded code to the second 6502 ... in the disk drive. 😁 That counts!
