[Aren't you hungry...?]

	In theory, the 32000 series was also supposed to run 8080 or 8086 
opcodes (or something like that - I can't remember which, though I remember
the article).  Apparently someone at NS blew a gasket when he saw how much more
that would make it cost and it was decided to abandon the ida.  Given how
well the NS chip set functions and how complete it is, this seems (my
opinion only) not to be much of a loss, though the software compatibility
would be nice.
