I have thin ethernet at home, it's cheaper, the 1/3 km limit for thin 
(as opposed to 1 km for thick), is more than sufficient ;-) & thin cable
goes under doors without drilling holes in the doorframe (it's a rented flat).
I guess most other PC532s live at home ? So thin would be most use,
however ...

On Cost:
Those like me lucky enough to already have an Xwindows screen 
(mine's an SVGA on a 486 that runs xterms on other hosts over ethernet,) 
just need an ethernet connection to the PC532.
Building a combined Ethernet + Graphics card would mean either having to stop
using the existing SVGA, or buying another monitor (& finding room for it).

A graphics + ethernet combi card would seem most attractive to those who both
	a) dont have graphics yet
	b) are happy to wait for a board to be designed

The ET532 has both thick & thin ethernet, is ready to build now,
so I'll push on with it.
