- Now if we had someone from WDC to give us more input and support.
- I am moving back to Phoenix in a couple of weeks, and I need to go into
- to talk to them anyway, so I will try and collect some info on the newer
- 65xxx series chips (like what status is the 65C832 in? [I know the answer
- will be that there are no companies that want 100K+ units so they won't
- finish it!]).
-
- Can you imagine a system with a 65C832 as the main processor and one or
- more DSP chips? Throw away that sloooooooooooooow ibm and get with the
- program!
