this is in reply to several articles on 32K parts.  In case you didn't
read the header, I work for NSC.

I believe we are now accepting orders for delivery around Decemeber.  The 
part is in production, and runs Unix.  Yield is 20 to 25 mhz mostly.
You might not like the intro price, though - I think it is just this
side of a thou.

As far as the issue of support for "garage shops" goes, that's the
unfortunate reality of this business.  Sales engineers and FAEs work
on commish, after all.

But if you have specific technical questions, post 'em.  There's a lot
of us at NSC who read this, and many of us can write, too.
