Just to set the record straight, the last two CPU's in this series (NS32332 and NS32532) ran a full implementation of UNIX on rev A of the chip. Marketing were so cautious by this time that the 32332 was not even announced until we had a working silicon. The only way to get rid of past follies seems to be changing the name of the company, but we have a reputation to keep... :-) -- Amos Shapir amos@nsc.com National Semiconductor (Israel) P.O.B. 3007, Herzlia 46104, Israel Tel. +972 52 522261 TWX: 33691, fax: +972-52-558322 34 48 E / 32 10 N (My other cpu is a NS32532)
