The latest issue of Digital Design has an interesting bit of news:

	National's 32032 uP is now available in sample quantities,
	an indication that extensions to the family are arriving on
	schedule.  The part has a 32-bit data bus and boasts a 40%
	improvement in performance over the 16032.  It supplies ECC
	bus handling and is capable of high speed parallel processing.

(The 16032 is 32 bits wide inside, but uses a 16-bit bus.  National
has been promising a version with a 32-bit bus, but I for one hadn't
expected it to arrive quite so quickly.  This definitely puts the
National folks one up on Zilog and Motorola.)  (No, the news item
did not mention prices.)
