I agree the name doen't reflect the purpose of the group.  I read it
for quite a while before I figured it out.  I thought it was for
micro's that had 16 bit memory paths (8086 vs 8080 for example).
However net.micro.nsc, though better, still is ambiguous since
National makes lots of things--including analog stuff.  Also, TI
second-sources the parts.  How about "net.micro.32xxx"?
