Tickly:

Amiga has "supported" multiprocessing, like the AMP on CSPPC and BPPC cards.

Official SMP support might not appear untill in OS5, if ever.  AMP could be implemented more esily, but apps are harder to write for that. We could for example run OS + normal apps on CPU1 and for example 3D renderer task#2 on CPU2.

strobe:

I think Eyetech announced last spring that they have made an agreement with Apple for the use of Apple MegArray connector.  (and I understand "they" = MAI and that all could be a lie)

But anyway, it is possible in theory. And if the bus protocoll is different, it is anyway pretty trivial for the Mac CPU accelerator manufacturer to tweak the card for A1 or TeronPX.

Time will tell, they  first  need to get the motherboards in shops.
