[comp.sys.nsc.32k] Series 32000 Designer Kit

marc@remsit.UUCP (Marc Kriguer) (11/27/86)

Hello.  I was wondering if anyone could help me...

I recently won a Series 3200 Designer Kit (at the ACM programming contest).
It consists of the following:

NS32016  -- the CPU (NMOS),
NS32082  -- Memory Management Unit,
NS32081  -- Floating Point Unit,
NS32201  -- Timing Control Unit,
NS32202  -- Interrupt Control Unit,
a 2-chip TDS (Tiny Develepment System) ROM, and a slew of manuals.

I am *NOT* too knowledgeable about hardware... but I do know that before
I can do anything with it, I'll need some sort of motherboard!  In the
literature, there is a lot of talk about GENIX (National Semiconducter's
port of UN*X), and I would love to see those 7 chips develop into a real
minicomputer!   Does anyone know a place to buy the appropriate boards
for it, and/or how much they should cost?  I know I would have to buy
a lot of memory and a hard disk drive -- but how much for just the basic
board (and how much for GENIX)?

I appreciate any help I can get!   Thank you!
