I missed that PIC32 had a unix available now - last time I looked=20
everyone was still talking about it. Must have a look at that.

Thanks, looks useful.

Yes, looks like a pretty good range from the little I've seen. I=20
especially like the idea that the board can be used as a=20
programmer/debugger for other ST chips, so intend to give them a good try.
