	I have just completed construction of a 32032 computer. (Details
of it are irrelavent). What I would like to know is :- is it normal for
the 32201D-8 (TCU) to get uncomfortably hot to touch (Xtal frequecy is 16 MHz)?
And if so why is it that the CPU  (32032E-10) runs heaps cooler?
I don't trust chips that run too hot to touch. The 80186-10 (Intel) scared me 
quite a bit when I built it into a computer.  I could have easily cooked an
egg on it. Still can!
	Thanks for any info you might be willing to give me guys.
