 I am interested in experimenting with the 32032
 starting with the chip set or an evaluation
 board. I would appreciate any help with the
 following questions.
 
 Can anyone tell me if a 32032 chip set is
 actually available (to a mere mortal? quan. 1?)?
 
 What speeds (and price) are available?
 
 Are fpu & mmu chips also available?
 
 My only reference on the series is a (preliminary)
 programmers reference for the 16032 bought several
 years ago.  Is this significantly out of date with
 respect to instructions, etc?
 
 One of the reasons I'm asking here is that when the
 16032 was announced I was quite infatuated with it
 and went out and got the manual; however the only
 info I could get out of my local distributor was
 that the evaluation board and the 4mhz cpu &mmu
 chips were available. I kept going back and being
 told that they had no info. on higher speed versions
 and no info at all on fpu availability - " it's not
 on our list so they probably aren't shipping".
 This went on for a couple of years until one day when
 I happened to be dismantling an HP 68000 system and
 saw a 10mhz national fpu chip inside - my dealer was
 still saying they weren't available at any speed......
 
 Thanks in advance,
