Skimming through the databook again, I've found a
little more
info on the Am2900 learning/evaluation kit.
While I'd really like to lay my hands on one of these, I
suppose if I wanted to get daring, I could just pull the
ROMs from the Prime and burn my own (The Prime CPUs were
built using the AM2900 family; some models had a writable
control store; not my 2455, of course).
In case anyone wonders why... it would be really cool to
spend five years trying to redesign the Prime CPUs to
eliminate the bugs that plagued so many of us for so long...
Not much market for them, of course...
