Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 12 If I recall correctly, the current 32008 is not quite the same as the 16008 of yore, which NSC people seem reluctant to talk about (possibly because it never worked). The 16008 (and also, I think, the 16016) was to have a mode in which it emulated the 8080. I suppose some muckamuck went into a tizzy when he found that his architects hadn't followed Intel's illustrious example [:-)] and he feared for the marketability of a product for which there was no ostensible software base already in place. Amazingly, sanity apparently won. -- Jim Crandell, C. S. Dept., The University of Texas at Austin {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!crandell
