Sounds very promising Exxos. :) And it looks like the 44 pin cable fits.. :) :) Great work. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:exxos wrote: 05 Mar 2020 13:39 @Icky Found a, literally, "small issue" on the IDE header..
I will need to build one up and test it all works correctly before putting kits in my store yet also. But if all goes well (does it ever?) I hope they will start appearing over the next few weeks.

@exxos - you exposed my thumb to the world :)
I plan on removing the connector tonight and putting in a right-angled socket one that the CF card will plug directly into.

Right angled socket works really well with the CF card adaptors. Picture minus my thumb. Just need to find a ROM, CPU and do the patches before sorting out the firmware.

Re: ST-IDE-ROM Dev Board v1 - BETA Testers
@exxos , can I use the IDE board but insert it with no processor and use the on board H4 processor? I suspect not but thought I'd ask.
