It seems to be the case (from other things which have run on the net) that the
32000 series has lots and lots of microcode bugs.  Also, the quantity prices
are not terrific, which probably explains the lack of availability.  In any
case, they are promising everything Real Soon Now as Jerry Pournelle (sp?)
would say.

	Finally, the DMA chips are only now coming to sampling, so it may be
that everyone has been held up by this.
