	I was referring to the Byte magazine article some months 
	back.  32k transistors, 4k cache and no FPU.   

	Can anyone cite a claim from Acorn themselves??

	I doubt it has much more than they claim, after all-that would
	be hard to pass off, wouldn't it?  

	However, I might be willing to venture a guess that the cache
	and cache-control silicon is off chip..?
