The only multi-processor machines supported in the distribution are
the SGI Power and SGI Challenge series.

Brazil has been ported to dual-processor Pentium systems which
conform to the Intel Multiprocessor Spec. But that's not on the
distribution.

Which multi-processor machines run Plan 9?

The distribution supports four architecures.
I'm reasonably certain:
      some of the SGI/MIPS machines Plan 9 supports are multi-processor
      the 680x0 machines aren't.
What I'd like to know is:
      Are any multi-processor SPARC   machines supported?
      Are any multi-processor Pentium machines supported?
