    I believe tht you're right on all counts. I had my hands on a PS catalog but left it at the hamfest. The seller is a friend of mine and I'm hoping that he remembers that I wanted it. The catalog doesn't list the 33SG144C (it's an '89 catalog and the ICs are dated '94) but it does list the Pace-Mipps R2000, R3000, R3010 and some others as well as the 175x chips. It says that the MIPPs ICs are standard MIPPs processors but built to Mil-Standards.

    I've got a few as well. I also just found a 1753 (MMU IIRC) and 1754 (I/O interface IIRC). In case you'r enot aware of it, the 1750 is a "standard" processor that the government is trying to use in all aircraft and aerospace applications.
