Hi,

A customer of ours wants to know when the 68332 processor which we use
in their product was first introduced to the market and I've been
unable to find an answer.

I know that I used a 16MHz part in a design in late 1992, I have an
instruction manual for a development board dated May 1992, and I've
found a paper data book for the chip itself with a copyright date of
1990 (but no version number), however we were hoping to narrow it down
a bit better than that.

I'm hoping someone out there used it when it first came out and can
remember when that was.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Martin.

That's brilliant, thanks. Believe it or not both I and the customer had
tried several Google searches and failed to find anything.

I've found it all hinges on the keywords you enter.
