[comp.sys.nsc.32k] My God, It's Alive!

I received my final shipment (fix?) of parts from Steve Ligett yesterday,
and after a somewhat frenzied night and morning of soldering and stuffing,
I got the monitor banner about an hour ago...

My only question is just how hot the '532 is supposed to get. Mine became
unpleasantly hot to touch after only a few minutes of operation at 25mhz.
Is this OK? Several other parts run warm, but the CPU felt like it could
be cooking.

Thanks to Steve for putting together the kits, and to Bruce for MINIX -
which I hope to have running soon. And thanks to Dave & George for creating
this whole project.
