I can assure you I'm not going to scrap my two NS32016s,
inside two Whitechapel Workstations. I have a programming
handbook for the 32000 series, too, as well as the Nat Semi
data book.
Which reminds me, anybody ever seen a 32000 second
processor box for the BBC Micro? That's one I'd like for
the collection (it's the used in all the examples in the
above programming handbook).

No, but I've got an 32016 S-100 CPU board :) I believe it's a Godbout
design, but I'd have to go look to refresh my memory.
Other S-100 CPUs I have:
68000
8085/8088
8086/8087
6502 (really! it's part of an Atari development board set)
...and of course 8080, Z80 :)

I've seen/used one, but I don't have one. Yes,
I am looking for one as
well (and an Acorn Cambridge Workstation (a BBC model B + 32016 2nd
processor built into a colour monitor case, basically).
Will those by any chance connect to a Cambridge Ring? And what is a Cambridge
ring anyway?

A ring-topology network. I have one of the
books/reports on it somewhere,
so I could possibly looks stuff up if you need to know anything.
No particular need, but I wouldn't mind some info about what it looked like,
what negotiation methods were used, and such. Perhaps enough to recognise one
upon encounter.

Wonder if the same folks made it...
They don't remember anything about the SS2 clone.

Rumor has it that Steve is going to bring his AT&T 3B2s to the junk
fest in Orlando. I think they have 32k CPUs.
