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.
