As of about 5 minutes ago, here is the status on the FPU and CPU's that
are pending...

I have 10 CPU's in my hands, and 7 FPU's. I should have the remainder of the
FPU's within a week.

Both the FPU and the CPU will be in the PGA (Pin Grid Array) package, and
both are 25 Mhz parts.

I'll ship the lot off to Steve Ligett tommorow, unless I hear different
from anyone.

I have been quoted future delivery times of <1 week for all parts concerned,
but we will not be able to get the NS32381V-25's (PLCC FPU's). All will be
in the PGA package. I think I'll play it safe and book the orders 1 month
before we need the parts... The major problem with this order was the
NS32381V parts, although it took a Looong time to figure that out!

Let me know if you have questions.
