We now have our two bare pc532 boards. We are building one initially, but purchasing components for two. A couple of Q's Who is the supplier of the AIC6250 What speed SIP packs do we need. Can see speeds from 60nS to 120nS available. Is there a particular P/N to get in 1Mx9 SIP's ?. Socket/pins ? In the meantime, we had a system crash out our end, and I have lost all mail from Sep/Oct. I cant remember much of it, but have lost a KORN shell that I saw ( did I ??), and not sure what else. Can anyone possible help with anything important from this interval ? It will be a few weeks till we get all the parts, and attempt to get the system up. Have got a set of Minix 1.3 disks. Who do we send them to in order to get MINIX_532 (?!). Do I need to get 1.5, seeing as you can ( can you?) get from 1.3 -> 1.5 via diff's ?. Thanks David ..........................................................

Socket/pins ? You want 80ns or faster - as per the document that went out with the board. There are lots of different part numbers - it depends on the manufacturer. For the simplest case ask for 80ns SIMMs that are compatible with clone 386 motherboards - i.e. fast page mode. Note: SIMMs don't have pins, SIPs do. If you go for SIMMs (if you ever want to remove them latter), then try and get AMP sockets for them - they are nicer than some of the others and the x9 SIMM configuration goes into them easier. best regards, -- George Scolaro george@wombat.bungi.com [37 20 51 N / 122 03 07 W]
