[net.micro] National Pace processor

"John A. Papadopoulos" <eng20202%BOSTONU.bitnet@WISCVM> (01/26/85)

-----
I just came across a small PACE processor development board but it is dead.
I think the processor is dead?  Does anyone know where I might come across
one of these oldies?  Does anyone have any info about the PACE that they
are willing to share?  If you have docs etc. I would be willing to pay
for copying and shipping of any materials.

Thank You,
John Papadopoulos

       The PACE was a very early National Semiconductor 16-bit CPU.  It
was noted for its 10-deep subroutine return stack, which limited the 
depth of procedure calls.

My (admittedly antique) copy of Adam Osborne's "An Introduction to 
Microprocessors Volume III: Some Real Products" devotes 60 pages 
to the PACE.  It should still be available in paperback.
