Hi Jon,

I finally got another pc532 over the weekend (and a SPARE UNSOLDERED
BOARD still in it's clear sealed plastic wrap!!) to replace my dead
unit.

My first attempts to download a 1.5 floppy/kernel weren't successful
unfortunately.  I tried:

	% tip console
	~
	NS32000 ROM Debugger
	Version: Sat Jan 18 18:58:15 1992
	Auto-boot enabled.
	RAM free above 0x129c

	Command (? for help): download 0x260000
type "~$./download floppy-144.fs"
	~$Local command? ./download floppy-144.fs
	away for 25 minutes 44 seconds 
	!

and at this stage got no response.  It's been about *seven* years since
I've used a '532 - anyone able to help refresh my memory on what I
should be doing?


I'm also wondering from Jon's message if that kernel will be very
useful, in terms of having a working bim on it.

Simon.
