I now have minix 532 running on my system (got the board running yesterday). We have now something like 8 boards working in Finland (we got the last components in the beginning of this week). Tatu Ylonen <ylo@ngs.fi>

The chip will run hot at 25 MHz - hot enough after a while to be very uncomfortable if you try and put your tongue on it! But then, think of them 300K+ transistors frantically jiggling at 25MHz. best regards, and more as I become more coherent... -- George Scolaro george@wombat.bungi.com [37 20 51 N / 122 03 07 W]
