[comp.sys.nsc.32k] I have minix 532 running

ylo@ngs.fi (Tatu Yl|nen) (08/03/90)

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).

Congratulations to both/all of you so far. As you may note I have finally
arrived back after 6 weeks of bush-living! I'm amazed I can still type etc...
21 hours of flying + vegetating in departure lounges, 2 hours sleep, and
crossing the date line... teee heee....(#$#)(@#*)@_!

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...
