I had an encounter with a Meiko Computing Surface (64 or 128 Transputers, I think?) around 1990, as I was studying Occam at the time. It was impressive to watch it rendering high-res 3D fractal landscapes in real time.
Ditto a few years before that - we had a Meiko box in the visuals R&D dept of the flight simulator company where I was doing my electronic engineering apprenticeship, although I didn't really get hands-on with it.
