My PC532 is up and running!

I am having trouble with the serial port headers/RS232 connectors - the
ones I bought do not seem to have the proper pin-outs :-(  What a have
right now is a rather impressive looking kludge that involves an inverted
wirewrap SIP, some solder, a trio of wires and an old DB25.  Thanks Dave
and Tom for the effort tonight to help get this beast running.  The
monitor banner came up and I can, err, dump my registers over and over
again :-)

The next step is to upgrade to the latest ROM and fire up my SCSI disk.

Sure can't wait for Bruce to find a free weekend to finish off the MINIX
port.  BTW Bruce (if you are reading this), any feel for what will be
involved (time and effort) for us to upgrade your (1.3 based?) version
of MINIX to to 1.5.10?

Robbin.
