Jim,

Not yet using but i did snag a couple.

Design looks simple enough, simple round-robin mailboxing between the 8 fast
32 Bit microcontrollers.  The ROM Tables ease a bit the tiny code store.

No Molt instruction yet; declared planned.

The 32 Bit "traffic jam" i/o is an interesting idea architecturally also a
possible nightmare for errant i/o code.

The SPIN Interpreter needed as at least a boot loader is one thing, one
sorta funny thing, but SPIN appears ant attempt to woo BASIC PIC'rs.

regards,
p

Just out of curiosity, is anybody using this?

Have you found it usefull and effective?

My first impression was it was kind of silly, but after reading the their
manual...well, I am not sure anymore...(unsure enough to purchase one to
try it out)....

I can see it might have some uses in synth stuff...
