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.
