For those who may be interested inbuilding from scratch, I will soon be 
publishing an app note on a fast, relativley low cost DRAM interface
for the 532.  

I invite and encourage NSC engineers to help out anyone who is designing
with the 532 as much as they can.

Jonathan, our version of Unix is protected by AT&T license terms.  Please
do not give it to anyone.  Even if they have an AT&T license, the transfer
must be recorded.  Thanks.

Good ideas!  Let's help out.
