I checked the book last night & talked to a Moto marketing guy this am..
1	the 5600x does NOT have a/d on-chip.
2	the $56/qty 1 price is for people who buy direct from Moto ("who
	typically buy $100K to $1M per year")
3	the main difference between the 56000 and 56001 is that the latter
	has the program memory as RAM, where the 56000 has it being masked-prog
	ROM.
4	(looked fairly nice)

I have the book less than 0.5 metres away, so if anybody has any other
questions i'll be glad to look it up (email tho, no post).
