HUNEYCUTT@Wpafb-Afwal@sri-unix (10/21/82)
Hi, Talked with Frank Lynch (product manager for the 800 line at Zilog), and he confirmed the info in the Electronic Design article (natch). He also told me that the rest of the 800 line would be documented and the documentation released to the public on or around 1 March, 83. Sample chips will start to be available approx. 6-9 months following the release of the further documentation.....all of which adds up to at least 8 months to a year before we start seeing the monster. I dearly hope they don't do what they did to the Z8K....damn near killed that thing off before it ever got on the shelves. Doug
