I'm not very hardware knowledgeable, so bear with me.  I also don't have any
'532 datasheets, although my local sales office has ordered the 1988 databook
for me.

If we were to use the 25 Mhz '532 out of the 532DK (can we do this?  Can the
'532 be removed from the 532DK PC board?), and 100 ns DRAM, are there any
problems?  I realize that any memory request would need wait states.  Would
we be able to use burst mode?  The '532 has onboard cache.  Wouldn't it have
a large enough hit rate that the '532 would still have a very acceptable 2-3
MIPS rating?  If we went this route, what sort of special hardware might we
need?
