The question is, why didn't the PD-32 ever get made?  I understood Definicon 
took it over and was willing to distribute the boards, but they had
serious problems with the boards/prototypes.  Or was that just problems
with marketing a competing product?  I don't want Unix.  I want a NSC32.
The last word I hrd from Definicon was they would sell the PD-32 real cheap, 
but to get the cheap price you had to buy Unix.  I just want hardware.
I also don't have a "PC", although for the right add-on, I might swing it.
