With reference to my previous articles about the BBC micro, I thought that
maybe someone would be interested to know that the proposed 16032 second
processor is looking less and less likely to be produced. Apparently
Acorn are now working on a Z8000 second processor in conjunction with Torch
Computers Ltd (who also make a 68000 + Z80 second processor running UNIX
or CP/M). It is not yet clear whether this Z8000 processor will be running
Microsoft's Xenix or Unisoft's Uniplus - these seem the most likely two
contenders.
