<Hi. I read about the AMD 29000 series microprocessors, and they seemed to
<be pretty interesting. Does anyone have any examples of micros that used
<such a processor? (And: Does anyone have one that they'd want to get rid
<of with compensation?)
generally used in custom microprogrammed systems where speed is everything.
DEC used it as a graphics drawing engine for a high speed laser printer

Whew! Probably cost the life salry of my extended family. That'd be fast
enough to do something like print out hard copies of logs for a server...
in real time. (That, or have a major branch of a major bank share a single
printer... IF you could fit like 2GB RAM into it.)
