But hey - it's music to the ears of a PC532 owner like me! :-) Yeah, you know, someday I'm going to do my own private port of FreeBSD to that box. I owe it one last fling, and the NS32K series is the only chipset I've even enjoyed hacking assembly for (a friend and I did a forth boot ROM in assembler for it :). Unfortunately, it has ONLY SCSI as its communication with the outside world. No network cards, no VGA, just SCSI.. :-) Jordan
