Therefore, it really can't be called a 32-bit machine in ANY sense of the word. The 16032, however, with a full 32-bit data path internally, is a 32-bit machine with a 16-bit bus. It's somewhat like comparing a Z80 and an 8088. Show me a real 16032/16081 micro and I'll buy that, but not this trash Apple stuff. Mark Papamarcos
