Some pc532 users will probably remember that if you ordered a 32gx32
(the embedded CPU with a '532 core) that was rev C or lower that you
actually got a fully functional 32532 - newer 32gx32's had the (from
memory) MMU control interface disabled.  The batch of 6 or 7 that were
built in Melbourne, Aus all had 32gx32's and we saved nearly $AUS1k per
CPU doing things this way.
