   By Sky Computing, maybe?  I have a Sun 670MP with a couple of 
coprocessors made by them.  It's in storage and I don't have the 
inventory handy, but IIRC each VME board had an i960 controller and 4 
i860 coprocessors (or maybe vice versa), each with 4MB of cache.  It's 
effectively a huge FPU.

   I'm pretty sure that in looking it up I found references to the same 
sort of product for other platforms.
