[TenTec] Dragonball Super VZ

[Gary Tuck <gtuck@mac.com>]

I know little about microprocessors but know there are many on this  
list who do.  In looking over the Freescale site, it appears that the  
Super VZ was introduced in 2001 and when you review some of the pages  
describing it, Freescale states that they recommend that you do not  
base new designs on it.  There is a later MX 1 chip.  So, would I be  
too far wrong in surmising that the Super VZ may be headed for the  
EOL scrap heap too?  But, perhaps I should be especially happy if it  
allows the Orion 1 and Orion 2 to use the same firmware!!  I suppose  
that as long as it does the job and continues to be available for  
production, that is all that is necessary.
