Hi Doc,

that was me, who asked for some software for a NS32032 board ...

Till last week, i've learned that Opus Systems is out of business, and that there is
no chance to get any documentation and/or software from them for this kind of board :-(
They made SPARC based processor boards as well, but unfortunately, i've never seen
such a board ...
... but if there is a chance to grab such a beast, i would take it :-)

Bernd
