... find someone to blame it on!

IMHO the lack of wide acceptance of the 32k cannot be blamed on any
one factor.  I tried for years to get my former company to use it in
a number of embedded controller designs, to no avail.  There were some
truly hardcore Motorola fanatics there, that wouldn't even consider
using a CPU that didn't store the bytes backwards (even if it cost 1/4
as much).  (Of course we wouldn't have been able to warm our coffee in
the morning, if we had used the 32C016 8-).

Anyway that's ancient history and there's no use crying over spilt
bits.  I think it would be great if the 32764 is resurrected.
