Hi! Are you guys into 32000 systems in general or is this just a PC532
group? The reason I'm asking is that I've built my own 32008 beast and
have good access to a 32016 beast. These are custom machines. I am
interested in hardware interfacing and the porting of operating systems,
specifically UNIX, MINIX or somesuch. Although my machines don't quite
approach the PC532 in capabilities, I think they are capable of some
good work. I love the architecture of the 32000 and would like to share
programming techniques for them.

Thanks
Teik.

The following is the specs for my machines:

Marvin (after the manic depressive robot)

32016 cpu, including MMU and ICU at 6MHz
640k RAM
3 serial ports
2 floppies at 800k each.

Mini-Marvin (my beast)

32008 cpu, at 8Mhz
256k RAM (1 M when I can afford it)
2 serial ports
1 floppy
Whizzo sound and 16 gray scale graphics (max 640x512).
