lock step with one just behind the other so when the first one faulted it stopped the other one and the other handled the fault.  Something like that.  Clem Cole would know the exact details.&lt;p&gt;They made for a pretty beefy machine, I ran ~20 users on one.  That was when we had a pile students on a Vax 11&amp;#x2F;780, I had accounts on both and much preferred the Masscomp.</text></comment>
