	"Does anyone manufacture a UNIX box based on the NS320xx??  If
	so, what are the specs?  I like the chip, but everyone seems to
	have jumped on the 68K bandwagon.  I read an add that Tektronix
	(I think) is coming out with a CAD/CAM workstation based on a
	32032/32016 coprocessor design, but I don't think it's UNIX
	based."

Our "CAD/CAM workstation" is just a 320xx-based computer running a
4.2BSD port.  I have one on my desk; it's a very nice little box.  We
added mucho bells and whistles, like a distributed file system (my
neighbor's disk looks like part of my file system), the "unimplemented"
memory management calls like mmap(2) and munmap(2), and, since we're
Tektronix, a real Basic language implementation.
