	Can AMD *deliver* what it professes to offer?  I recently designed
a product using the AMD 99C88 8Kx8 CMOS static ram because the AMD rep in
my area is also a business associate.  I was promised samples in May - then
June - then July - then maybe 1986 because-the-bottom-has-fallen-out-of-the-
8Kx8-market and AMD was no longer motivated.  I was particularly ticked off
because I had PC boards designed and built for some prototypes - and the AMD
99C88 pinout is different from everyone else's 8Kx8.  Needless to say, I chose
another vendor for the part.
	Also, my sources tell me that the 27512 is a dangerous part to design
around because many other vendors are bypassing it and going directly from the
27256 to the 271014.
