Just to clarify, recall that my assertion was that I didn't see the 32000 much in the lists I had, but there were reasons why it could well be popular and still not show up at that particular show. I.e., my assertion was that I hadn't seen data that supported the 32K, not that I had data that showed it didn't exist.... In any case, this actually appears to be an interesting strategy for NSC, and I've heard well of their recent presentation on the new products. -- -john mashey DISCLAIMER: UUCP: mash@mips.com OR {ames,decwrl,prls,pyramid}!mips!mash DDD: 408-524-7015, 524-8253 or (main number) 408-720-1700 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems, 930 E.
