Yes, it was a full Single System Image (SSI) system -- one of the 3B4000's
SW architects was Tom Bishop, whom I'm still in contact (he's in the Austin
these days). Those folk did a nice job. FWIW: When the 4000 project was
canceled in Indiana Hill, Tom joined us @ LCC to work on TNC.

ISTM the 4000 was one of the earlier UNIX clusters,
very close to Locus in
time? Any pointers for more info would be appreciated, I don’t care if it
sucked it’s still interesting

Can you share any details or photos about that

Nope. The only pictures I had of the '4000 were from the night we
"decommissioned" it. They were lost many moves ago. But even if I
still had them I would not let them out in public, to protect the
guilty.
Which is a shame, because some of them were quite entertaining :-)
