I occasionally wonder why 1750a wasn't more widely adopted commercially, 
given a fairly open specification, relatively easy to implement, mature 
tools ecosystem and built in revenue opportunity from the military.  
Tangentially, I've got a complete Performance Semi P1750A chipset 
including MMU.  I need to build something with it, if I could ever find 
enough doco to really understand it.
