    Some years ago Popular Electronics did an article on Future 16bit
processors.  They listed such things as the 9900 (TI), z8000 (ZILOG),
and the 16008 and 16016 (NATIONAL).  The 16008(16) were descibed as being
super 8080 type processors capable of executing 8080 opcodes directly
plus a entirely new totally 16bit instruction set.  That was very different
from what eventually did come out.   Anybody else remember this article?
I can't remember what issue it was, too long ago.
