Why do you think Hsu/IBM would use the DB97? What if they set up a DB-2001??

The then "massively parallell" 32-node IBM RS/6000 SP is now available in
"standard" configuration 64, 80 and 128 node versions:

Note also: "...more than 128 nodes are available. Consult your IBM
representative...".  :-)
