One shorcomming of the PC532 I've come to realize is that is has no autoboot/diag switch!! I'm tempted to wire one up from a spare ICU line to a header pair (soldered into one of the spare IC spots) and get a case with a "turbo" switch! -Phil

Our ICM3216s have a neat way to do this without extra hardware. When you reset them they give you so many seconds of grace - if you hit a key on the terminal during this time they will exit to the rom diagnostics, else they will continue with the boot. best regards, -- George Scolaro george@wombat.bungi.com [37 20 51 N / 122 03 07 W]
