The Rocket shipped with RocketWare for use as an accelerator. RocketShare was released a bit later, and was for using the Host CPU and any additional Rockets in a Multiple Processor Configuration, running Appletalk over Nubus. The later 40 MHz Stage II Rocket Models required RocketShare to function at all, they were no longer able to act in an acceleration only mode.
IIRC, Saturn V was the massively parallel processing Rocket hardware platform (more of a Raster Image Processing Array than an actual computer from what I've been lead to believe) that was headless and run from a "lowly" SE/30, whose ROMs were copied to each of the many Rocket's RAM under the Apple/Radius license.
I wasn't aware that Saturn V was ever a shipping product, just a prototype that had Apple crappin' a bucket full-o-brass wheaties when they saw it in action. Hence, Apple's intentional borkage of AppleTalk over NuBus.
But, I have been known to be wrong about this kinda crap though!
p.s. Interesting note: the review states that the Rocket was incompatible with the IIfx.
Whatcha' got to say about that tidbit, IIfx? :lol: I'll wager later versions of the Rocket's ROM fixed that issue nicely!
