Good. I like the ns32k too, it's very nice.

There is the MINIX os. As I recall there are some people in US that are
going to (allready ready with it?) port MINIX to a ns32k based machine.
I think it was an ICM-3216 card, but any ns32k hardware should work
due to the orthogonality in the ns32k.

Building hardware around the ns32332 CPU and the ns32382 MMU would
be very nice. And memory should be, at least, 4Mbyte.

Yes. Unfortunaltely I'm too unexperienced in C to participate.
I'm too busy with my exam and my work too.

Poor dear fellow.
