Anyone ever heard of a microcontroller&/microprocessor called a
D77P20D ?. I met a few of these the other day, and a quick glance in
someone elses IC Master (mine is about 8000 miles away at present) told
me that it was a DSP optimised chip with a bloody fast multiply - well
compared to a '51 or 6805/11 anyway. My interest was aroused that these
could be useful in grotty little audio applications where the more fancy
(and expensive) DSP units were not needed. They are made by NEC and are
in a ceramic windowed package. To be useful, one would need to find an
X-assembler, and some data. Anyone know the phone number of the part of
NEC that deals in such obscurities ? (Oh that the IC Master really was
the fountain of info it purports to be instead of merely offering a 
morsel of information) - and while on the subject of strange thingies,
I'm looking for info on an "Omni programmer" made by Varix corp - what
seems to be now extinct !
Cheers,
        Mike.
