Well, mine's not heating anything right now, but all my parts have arrived (thanks Steve!) and it will be R.S.N. I bought the pc532 to try out a machine oriented language for the '532, and that's what I've been hacking away on in my few spare moments. (A MOL is essentially an assembler with a high level language syntax. The '532 is just about perfect for this kind of language! Oops, gotta stay off that soapbox...) When (if) I finish it, it ought to make writing drivers and high performance code much easier. I guess the usual pc532 owners situation is that the machine is a hobby/casual/home machine and they just don't have the large quantities of free time it takes to do significant projects (hardware or software) in a short elapsed time. It also takes a fair bit of time to go from a running board to a running system, so not all the working boards are going to be at the producing stage yet.
