I would like to get familiar with the 32-bit microprocessors (hardware &
software, etc.).   Jameco Electronics is selling the NSC Series 32000 designer
kits for $59.95 (32016) and $79.95 (32032).

They sound like what I want (does not seem to be anything comparable for 68020,
etc.) but I would like some guidance for purchasing.....

The ad says: "Each kit includes TDS Manual, TDSCOM Program Listing, Programming
Reference Guide, Series 32000 Data Book, Instruction Set Manual, Application
Notes and Product Brochures.  (32016 Kit): 32016 CPU, 32081 FPU, 32082 MMU,
32201 TCU, 32202 ICU and 2 TDS PROMS......(32032 Kit): Same as above but a
32032 CPU & 4 TDS PROMs."

Your comments/assistance/warnings/caveats/suggestions are eagerly appreciated
and awaited.

Thanks in advance
