*OT* Paul -
VAX developed an SMP capable machine I think in '86 or maybe '87, I'd have to go back and dig it up, it was ahead of the HP9000/870 which was '89.

When I said '10 years before any UNIX had similar capability' I was referring to the availability, not SMP. The SMP stuff all happened about the same time (CPQ produced their SMP systempro in 1989).
