432 group gave a talk at asilomar acm sigops meeting ... major problem I
remember they talked about was putting sophisticated operating system
functions in silicon and problems/enhancements required new/replacement
chips.

I had recently done something similar for entry IBM 370 ... but it was
microcode ... scheduling/dispatching for five CPU SMP, I/O drivers,
etc. ... so I could sympathize.
