Okay, here's the deal:
Anyone casn buy a 532DK (designer kit) for, you guessed it, $532 - for awhile.
This is a special intro price that will go away soon.  I don't know when,
exactly.  Call your local NSC distributor.

Universities can buy a 1 megabyte VME332 board for $950, pending final
approval here at the factory.  4 meg boards are $1900.  Please note
1 meg boards cannot be upgraded to 4 meg.

Final pricing hasn't been set on VME532, but I'm pushing for $3900.
As soon as it is finalized, I'll post something.
