I'm doing a study of the iAPX 432 system for my operating systems class. I'm
particularly interested in the iMAX OS.  I have copies of Kahn et.al paper
from 1981 and the Intel book "A Programmer's View...".

I understand that the 432 never made it as a commercial product. (Is this true?)
Could someone send me pointers to a discussion of it's demise?  I would
also be interested in your perspective on the system.  

As usual please reply to me via mail. I'll post a summary if anyone is
interested.
