Yep... you could have seen a demo of the AppleCrate at a previous KFest. 

One of the workshops at KFest 2011 is

[Bruce Johnson]

It's off topic, and about thrice removed, but it's about Apple gear and is just

A 17-processor parallel processing computer made of Apple //e logic boards,

and a home-hacked ROM that allows network booting.
