I thought it was the Beaverton folks who did this thing. My Brother in Law
worked at Floating Point Systems (FPS) which got bought by Cray and now is
part of Sun. They had both Beaverton and San Diego sites. But I thought
the hardware was done in the sillicon forest.

You're right that the docs might be hard to find these days.
