In a review of the SPARCstation 2, a recent UnixWorld mentioned in
one paragraph an add-on box (called a SKYstation, manufactured by SKY computers)
for the SPARCstation which gave it 80 Megaflop peak performance and cost 
about $10K. 

I would appreciate:
1) any info which can supplied on reliability, ease of use, performance,  
   support, problems encountered with it etc on both the hardware and software
   side.
2) knowing about the company itself, ie are they likely to be around a year 
   from now.
3) pointers to reviews of the SKYstation appearing in print
4) pointer to competitors.

Please email to me, and I will summarize to the net given enough interest.
