Ahoy All! Well, another PC532 is brought into being upon our great Earth! For those of you who remember, my board did not work initially with the parts I got from Steve L. Well, it turns out that the monitor wasn't quite right. The board would program the ICU and set the LED's, but nothing else would happen. On a tip from Bruce C., I checked the crc on the ROM I got and lo and behold! the crc was wrong on both versions of my ROM's. Well, a quick ftp to willow.something.something. got me yet another version of the monitor---and this one worked! So... if your board has the same symptoms as mine, try getting the ROM image off the net (the site was in a previous posting about a day ago). Thanks to all involoved and to the academy. Thanks for doing the parts buy for us Steve L., but you may want to check the ROM image that you are shipping. Now, on to MACH....(or MINIX, since that may be easier). Alvin Jee alvin@ce.ucsc.edu

Another board up and running. Apparently I was suffering from the bad ROM image too. Now on to my second board. *** Randy Hyde
