George, if you ever make any changes to the PC532 PCB, I have a small
suggestion:  It appears like "B" port on the 6250 chip is unused.  I suggest
that you wire up a set of 8 dip switches to this thing.  That would allow
owners to select certain cold boot options (e.g., system SCSI port address,
initial Baud rate, whether to boot from disk  or enter the monitor, whether
or not an FPU is installed [shades of IBM!], etc.).

Yeah, I'm already warming up the soldering iron and using some of those
spare sets of holes on the board.  Having a standard, supported, set of
dip switches would be nice, though.
