I am using a DB16000 development board which uses an NS16032 CPU.
I have been told by some people that this CPU had some `bugs' which
were corrected in the 32016. Is this true? Or was the renaming of
the 16032 to the 32016 just a marketing decision?

I was thinking of purchasing a 32032 Designer's kit, and using the
MMU and FPU chips in the DB16000. But if the 16032 has bugs, I may
have to purchase the 32016 Designer's kit. Some information to end
my confusion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
