I need to use the Intel 80960 RISC processor for a application that I am
doing.  Does anyone have any comment on the processor?  I will be using the
80960MC at 20 MHz specifically but I am looking for any experiences anyone
has had.

Also, I would be interested what memory speeds were used (and wait states).

Did it live up to expectations?

I will be coding the application in C initially but will convert it to Ada
when Intel comes out with it.

Comments please?

thanks in advance.
