Lines: 11 [Aren't you hungry...?] In theory, the 32000 series was also supposed to run 8080 or 8086 opcodes (or something like that - I can't remember which, though I remember the article). Apparently someone at NS blew a gasket when he saw how much more that would make it cost and it was decided to abandon the ida. Given how well the NS chip set functions and how complete it is, this seems (my opinion only) not to be much of a loss, though the software compatibility would be nice. Jon Shapiro
