When IBM was connected, then you could be sure of (at least) massive publicity.
I think it would be very nice if someone would back Hsu and create a monster
machine.  But it would be a lot of money and a big risk.  Maybe one of those 32
CPU Compaq's?

Anyway, Kasparov has good reason to be cautious.  A single new chip would be a
formidable foe.  Imagine a 32 CPU machine where each CPU has access to 32 of
Hsu's chips!

Better yet, a cluster of 32 of these machines.  It would be darn near
unbeatable.  But it would also be very expensive to program and debug.
