**M???? Genie, Quad Pentium [no datasheet, some info] c95
***Notes:
It looks like this was never released, very little info, the 4-CPU
support of the Pentium is inconsistent with the Intel SMP
architecture.

"
3) The Genie Chipset (Acer Labs: 10B9/4281) (8/27/95)
This is a chipset by Acer Laboratories Inc. (ALI) which is intended
for use in multiprocessing systems. Specifically, the chipset will
support up to four P54C, P55C, Cyrix M1 or AMD K5 processors, though I
don't know if you can "mix and match" the CPUs (though I doubt
it). I've had no reports of success or failure with boards which use
this chipset. "
