I would like to say that Sequent has not punted the 32x32 line.

They have chosen to offer different products, one line based
on Nationals processors and one on Intels.  In fact, if you read
some of Sequents press articles, none even hint that they are 
------ national.  In fact, their president was very complimentary
with respect to the recently announced 32532.  Sequent has
every intention of using it.

As it relates to daughter board updates, I'm sorry but I can't
help you there.
