Netlanders,

I seem to have goofed (as I have been told over 15 times already).
I do hereby apologize to National Semi. for the confusion that I may
have caused.  I must admit to miss-reading an article in Byte some time
ago that must have been saying something else.

Now, on to new stuff (now that I have generated some interest :-)...

The gentlemen from National that came around were trying to get our
local chapters of ACM & IEEE to sponsor their "user group" here on campus.
Through this group would be funneled all of the technical support for the
ICM 3216, as well as all of the feedback to National.  My question is
(and was at the time) does the group have to buy one of these machines to
claim itself as a "users group"?  At the time, I (ACM) was told that we
would have to buy a machine.  I then attended an IEEE meeting (held the
same day) to get them interested.  At that meeting, I was told that
the group did NOT have to buy a machine.

Could someone at National please clear this up for me?  Also, could anyone
tell me where to write to ask for a "new" demonstration of this board.
I was VERY interested (at the time), and still am, in using a set of these
machines on an EtherNet.  When I asked, I was told that an EtherNet board
was in the works, along with a 8 channel RS-232 board, a 1024x1024 graphics
board, and something else...I forget what.

Any comments should be directed to the net, NOT MY ALREADY ROASTED MAIL
BOX!!!!!!!!   Please folks, I realize my mistake.  Quit the flaming already...

Contritely,
