CTOS running on a 'MegaFrame' which had 6 processors on cards the size of a pizza box. Slid them in a case the size of a dishwasher. Each had 1MB(!) of RAM, all mappable into each others' address spaces.

Also a desktop modular workstation, and NGen (Next Generations, hah). It went through 8086,186, 286 and 386 versions.
