When I was at Terak a few years ago, we built a Unix workstation based on
the 32016/32032/32332 CPUs.  CalComp bought Terak, and sold the workstation
under the label CalComp 7500.  At the time, the 323xx support chips weren't
available, so we used the 32081/32082 with the 32332.  But that was a coupl'a
years ago, and CalComp has probably upgraded it.  You might check with them.
[That's CalComp's Display Products Division, in Hudson, NH].
