With the TI agreement, National Semi has renamed the 16000 line "Series 32000". Will this have any effect on current chip numbers? (i.e. 16082 -> 32082?) Does anyone have any information on the 32132, and its successors? Does anyone know when NS expects to be sampling them? Maybe this newsgroup should be renamed net.micro.32k... :-) Jan Gray (jsgray@watmath.UUCP) University of Waterloo (519) 885-1211 x3870

Yes. 16032->32016, 08032->32008, 16081->32081, 16082->32082, 16201->32201,
16202->32202, and the very new DMA chip 16203->32203.
Does anyone have any information on the 32132, and its successors?
Does anyone know when NS expects to be sampling them?
When I talked to my local National man last, he discussed several 32032
updates (I didn't ask about the 16032/32016, sorry) due within a year or
so, and mentioned "86-87" as the timescale for a major new cpu, probably
the 32132 although he didn't mention the number. Said new cpu might have
on-chip MMU and an on-chip cache; he didn't mention anything else.
(Oh, before I get 10**10 letters asking "what 32032 updates?", these
were basically just speed improvements.)
