This very capable and fairly complex design was freely available, right down to the Gerber files and PAL equations. Dave and George had previously worked on a PC/AT coprocessor board using the 32016 for Definicon. The pc532 eventually supported MINIX, Mach, and NetBSD ports. Phil Budne and some others on this list participated - I could only afford to cheer from the sidelines... NatSemi reworked various 32k chip designs into versions for embedded use, eventually. The 32cg16, based on the 32016, had a healthy run in printers for several years before the 32gx32 came along. Off the top of my head, I can only recall the pc532 and the later model of ETH's Ceres workstations as examples of "single-user" machines using the '532. And of course if anybody wants to get rid of one, I'd be happy to oblige... ;) Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC532 http://www.netbsd.org/ports/pc532 http://cpu-ns32k.net/index.html --S.
