Most of the traffic I've seen is discussing the name of the group.
How about some discussion of the NS32000 series chips as well.

In particular:

1) Is there any news about of Lilith-type machines based on 32000 series
chips?  (Wirth's group is porting Modula-2 and the Medos environment to a
32000-based machine.)  If the 32000 became the Modula-2 chip of choice then
it find a real niche.

2)  What's the prognosis for the 32000 series, given the serious competetion
from Motorola and Intel?  Seems like everybody except Symmetrix and Definicon
use 80{,2,3}86 or 680[012]0.  Most compilers only need to be written once,
so what other advantage might National have?  Can they build 200Mhz GaAs
32000-series chipset before Motorola and Intel and save themselves?
