Hi 

Jesper, you have been lurking on this list? So have I.

My PC532 is in the attic with tons of other useful stuff.
I've been following the threads here and would like to upgrade
from Minix too.
Is it possible to get hold of the image of the auto-boot ROM?
I have a Data IO box here at work that probably could do the
programming (if I can find compatible chips).

Thanks & regards
Rolf Andersson
