Thanks for the info!  I used to have a paper 68332 databook.  I now
work with an engineer who doesn't believe that datasheets used to be
actual books.

Does anyone know if the Motorola databook depot is still on Central?
(It used to be a frequent stop at RPL's). However, Motorola doesn't
make controllers anymore.

It looks like the 68332's PDFs are on Freescale's website, so it's
really a moot point.

Yes...the Qwerk!  That's the one I couldn't remember.

Very Best,
Jeff
