I have not yet connected my SCSI drive to the board (The drive has
lots of files I need to find a new home for).

But, I have created a 2 Meg Ram disk and have been compiling and
porting a number of my programs.  The system is great!
I have compiled a 30,000 line source program in just over
1 minute. The compiler and other tool are quite stable.
Remember this is an Alpha release on new hardware.  I did
hang the system once, but thats part of the fun.  Using the
ram disk has been quite usefull (I am in fact trying to decide
if I should get another 4Meg of ram).  I even have a modified
"dload" program that will download and boot MINIX 532 from my
AT.

Dave, George and Bruce, thanks for a job will done.
