Hi,
I was wondering if anybody had any comments or hints about using one of
these 80960 uP.  We hope to use one of these (SB) in a small image
processing type of unit, utilising its FPU and around 5Mips of speed.
Any tips on the hardware design or problems ?
Ditto for software development.
Does anyone have or know about a PD/Shareware assembler or C compiler
for it ? The chip costs just $A60, so we aren't going to pay the $960
for the Assembler.
Otherwise I'll have to write one.

Thanks a lot, Mike
