The server is under a massive attack which started yesterday morning.
Unfortunately I am not at home on weekends to keep a eye on it all.
So if we go down, I will not be able to fix it until Sunday night. Fingers crossed we stay up!
I have also had to block and ban anything with HTTP1.x protocol.
So make sure you are using HTTP2 otherwise you will get banned!

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.
Sounds very promising Exxos. :) And it looks like the 44 pin cable fits.. :) :) Great work. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

@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.

@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.
