I hope not.... 8-) It sounds like there might be some interest in a 532 kit of some sort. (Why mess around with the old stuff? After all, there's no such thing as too much horsepower). I believe our apps group has written some notes on 532 design, memory interface, etc. If NSC can make info available, is there someone out there willing to: a) prototype a board, or b) do the layout, or c) any other useful contribution? If there is substantial interest, I will go beat on various people here and see what we can do to help out users. I realize $995 is kind of a lot for a hobbyist...
