The Z8108 is the first of the Z800 series, as is stated in the article in Electronic Design. Intel denies all rumors that they are discontinuing the 432. They are working on a faster version to make it more attractive to designers. There is a new USENET site, ssovax, connected to intelqa that proclaims itself "home of the iAPX-432." They have started work on a 32-bit version of the iAPX-286, however. Kenny Hirsch duke!unc!kh kh.unc@UDel-Relay P.S. How does one pronounce iAPX?
