I received several interested replies to my enquiry to establish a news
group for the iapx432.  However, there didnt seem enough responses to
warrants an additional news group and so I  suggest making it a subgroup of 
net.micro:
 
                      net.micro.432
 
 
We have an installed iapx432 that executes 'Intel ADA' programs cross
compiled on a VAX.  We are making some simple measurements of the speed of
the 432 as it executes programs.  In one very crude experiment, we found
that the processor will perform at least 1 million 'ADA' integer additions
to a local variable in 21 secs.  
 
We are interested in discovering other iapx432 sites and in
information exchange.
