A report in the *April* issue of RISC User made reference to a new reduced
spec for ARM3s.  Seemingly they have been reduced to a maximum speed of
25 MHz to increase the chip yield.   I have read similar reports from other
sources so I guess this is true.

The article then goes on to say that the maximum clock period from MEMC has
been reduced from 10000 ns to 250 ns rendering the chips useless in Arcs.
Can anyone from ARM Ltd confirm this second part before I part with my
cash for a chip I couldn't use?

---You can never be sure with these April issues---

Gordon.
