Dear colleagues,

our distributors in Germany gave us the information that Motorola
discontinues the production of the MVME162-xxx and MVME172-xxx series. 

The substitute is the MVME162P-xxx series based on the new Petra ASIC.

Motorola has made a new ASIC called  Petra which replaces the
functionality of the ASICs MC, MC2, IPIC, IP2 and MCECC. The
production of the old ASICs will be discontinued.

In germany the last order for the old series has to be done not later than

                            ==============

                            ==============

As attachment you will find the description of the differences between
the old and the new series. 

This information may be of interest.....
