PLASTIC 68000'S

(1 / 1)


According to the Components Engineering Status report as of 4/15/87:
"Two Signetic plastic 68000 microprocessor samples were tested in a System I
game [running Road Blasters - 7.xx mHz clock] for 96 hours at 70 degrees
centigrade with no failures."  I believe they were 8 mHz parts.

QUESTION: DO ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TESTS YOU WOULD LIKE PERFORMED BEFORE
          WE ADD THIS PART TO THE AVL?

	  If yes, then please get your input to Erwin by 4/21/87. 

Erwin, if you do not receive any additional test requests, please add this
part to the AVL and give Gary Stempler and Doug Snyder the part number since 
they have immediate applications. 
	Thanks,  Chris
