Of course there is a problem with the 432.  It is too slow.  I saw a recent
benchmark that compared recent microprocessors against a vax 780.  I don't
remember the exact figures, but they were what you would expect;  the 68000
was about .6 vax, the 8086 was about .4 vax and there was the 432, listed as
.04 vax(!)

Add to that the fact that Intel never really got its Ada(tm) compiler to
work, and it is not surprising that people are selling off their 432
hardware in favor of more 'conventional' and faster stuff.
