I was involved in a project using the 32016 in the UK. We found that you got by far the best response from dealing with Nat Semi direct. They were always very helpful and provided us with samples and buglists. Obviously Nat Semi would rather you went through their distributors but these have a vested interest in moving old stock, or just are not as knowledgable. We repeatedly asked for G mask and got F mask chips ( it was that long ago! ). Approaching Nat Semi direct solved this. Distributors in the USA may be more knowledgable. sean sjl@ukc.UUCP ..!mcvax!ukc!sjl
