I'm not sure I really _use_ mine; I play with it on occasion.
(actually I used it more regularly when the only working tape drive I
has was the one on the '532).

Recently my spare serial port has been busy (playing with a 68hc11
based "Handy Board" which runs an environment called "Interactive C";
see http://el.www.media.mit.edu/groups/el/projects/handy-board).

I powered up the pc532 for the first time in over a month to try out
the 60MHz OSC I had picked up at a Ham Radio flea market.  The boot
seemed to go faster, and my favorite benchmark (my SNOBOL4 in C
translating itself) ran a full 20% faster. I had my doubts it would
work, given the number of chip substitutions I made when building my
board!

My '532 is a -25 and is running QUITE hot (over 100F by the thermistor
I attached to one of my Handy Board's A/D inputs; Should I get fins or
a fan for the CPU?
