FINN@USC-ISIF.ARPA (10/02/84)
From: Gregory G. Finn <FINN@USC-ISIF.ARPA>
The firm is DFE Electronic Data Systems. Their announcement may
be found in Electronics Week Sept. 3, 1984 issue pp. 152. They have
just a secretary here in the US. Documentation orders are telexed to
Deutschland and sent from there. Expect a substantial delay.
They have talked to me (they actually are in Germany) and the
32032 version will be available around March at the earliest.
National has some problems running the pager chip at 10Mhz and a sped
up version is due for volume shipping in March.
A prototype 8Mhz 32016 with pager and floating point will be
available in single quantities to selected customers in December.
They are looking for volume customers. The 1/2meg 8Mhz 32016 board
will cost ~$3000 and with 2meg ~$4000 (socketed no/chips for less).
Price may be expected to go down as company moves out of prototype and
into production.
