KSR went out of business several years ago, about the same time at the
KSR-2 was due to be completed.  I don't know if very many KSR-2s were
shipped.  I never heard anything about KSR-3s and I was watching with
some interest as KSR was a potential competitor for a short while. 

Architecturally, the most interesting feature of their system was the
memory-cache scheme.  Someone who actually used a KSR machine would be
more qualified to discuss the details.
