WOOPS!  Just after I wrote a previous article complaining about lack
of information on the new WE 32100 lo and behold, I receive just the
specs I was lacking in the mail.  All kinds of neat stuff.  Pinouts,
registers, addressing modes, etc. including specs on a MMU.  Have to
peruse it more carefully yet.  First impression-- adressing modes
kind of limited (read rudimentary) lots of displacement  nnn(rn) 
modes, but seems like little else (I miss auto increment/decrement for
multiple stacks).  None of the exotic addressing modes of the NS32000 or
68020.  Maybe they're taking a somewhat RISC approach?  (maybe you can't
make use of that stuff from UNIX anyway?)  

Warrants further research.  Anyone else seen these specs yet?  What do
you think?  I would guess it was designed with UNIX in mind, but not being
a kernel wiz, I have no idea.
