Would we? I suppose this would result in improvements in handling 24-bit addresses, but since the 65832 still has only a 8-bit databus, I wouldn't expect much improvements for most code. And I'm not holding my breath waiting for an on-time announcement of production quantities of the 65832. --- Subash Shankar Honeywell Systems & Research Center voice: (612) 782 7558 US Snail: 3660 Technology Dr., Minneapolis, MN 55418 shankar@src.honeywell.com srcsip!shankar
