Gary --

We got Squeak going on the M32R/D several years ago. It worked fine. 
An excellent Berkely grad student whose name escapes me right now did 
a lot of the work with some supervision by John Maloney.

  I think that Mitsubishi subsequently sold the M32R/D design and 
process to Motorola -- and we have heard nothing since about it.

Cheers,

Alan
