Ahh... I remember the CCI Power series very well. IIRC, there was the 5/32 (a pissy little box, until the 5/32X came along, which actually did the Right Thing (tm) when it implemented instruction restart correctly upon a SEGV) and the 6/32 (we had the 8MHz board, whereas most users had the 5MHz board; "we got cycles to burn!"). Those were the days, when geeks did their best but were over-ruled by the marketoids; oh, the stories I could tell about my STC days (known by the geeks as "Strangled Tangled and Confused), but I'm unsure about the Statute of Limitations... - Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
