Prime also unveiled its “dual processor” version, the 6550 system, in which two tightly coupled processors within a single computer will allow it to attain processing speeds of up to 23.6 million instructions per second. Other features of the 6350 system design include capacity for a main memory of 64 megabytes and a subsystem designed for support of up to 64 disk drives, each with 770 megabytes of storage. Both the 6350 and 6550 systems will support up to a maximum of 960 users simultaneously. The 6350 is available now, and the 6550 system will be shipped by year-end.
