Phil C's Raven build

[PhilC]

Thanks all. I've got a few ideas of what I want to do with it. I'll try and share more as I get time.

I have been following your progress. Well done on getting the Raven running.

Looking forward to seeing what you do on your journey with using it.

A quick photo of the Raven sitting inside of a second hand case I had lying around. Not sure if that's it's permanent home yet or not.

I need to sort out a better adaptor for the CF card at some point.

"at some point" also know as never :p

Well, it's going to have to be a bit sooner than I'd planned, as thanks to one of my health problems, which can at times be amusing, I accidentally threw it, not far but far enough to smash the case, whoops. The Raven survived but now I'm going on to eBay to look for a new case

Glad the Raven is ok!

yeah me too, the case was 40 Quid a few years back, so didn't matter.

I follow your project with curiosity because you have a similar configuration to mine: Picogus, EtherNet card and video card. I use an ET4000AX video card, and when I insert a network card (I used at least 4) the system freezes shortly after...

I do have a couple of ET4000AX boards, I'll see if mine freezes with a network card in. With my Mach32 it doesn't freeze but it doesn't find the network cards either.

I couldn't see it either, then I roughly bridged it and forced the PNP:

Obviously the freeze also occur in other situations (pnp, no pnp, other card, etc).
