Re: Request for information about 16032 systems.

I have read some literature from a company called GVC.  They are producing a
multibus 16032 board.  The details of it are as follows:

	CPU		16032 CPU; Sockets for 16081 FPU;
			16082 MMU.

	Memory		512 Kb RAM, no wait state, parity checked;
			RAM is Dual Ported for multibus access.
			Expansion to 2 Megabytes with 256K chips.

	I/O		4 Serial I/O channels (50 - 38.4K baud);
			1 Real Time clock with battery back-up;
			1 Winchester Disk Port.

	Software	Contained in ROM is a moniter and debugger.
			Also included is a BASIC interpreter.  A port
			of UNIX (Berkeley 4.1) is in progress.

	Price		$3295 from GVC
				222 3rd Street
				Cambridge, MA  
				(617) 576-1804


Does anyone have any experience with this board or this company?  I
have been told that the National board (DB 16000) is not very good for
assembling a 16000 based multibus system.
