It works perfectly on the //c and IIgs. Apparently the IIc+ is very uncommon in France and Cedric has not had one to work with. Hopefully we can debug by proxy through me :-).
I'd love to provide pictures, but my Canon Elph developed what appears to be electro-migration based rot (all too common in consumer products, unfortunately). Hopefully I'll have a working camera soonish and can get photos out.

All,

According to Cedric, I have bragging rights for the first successful
bringup
of SPVHD outside his workshop :-).

I received the bare board and a handful of parts last summer and finally
found
the time to build it into a little project box.  Once I sorted out that a
DOS
3.3 image was a non-starter (no driver for Smartport), it worked first
shot.

So far, I've booted P8 on a IIgs Rev 1 and an original //c.  There appears
to
be an issue with IIc+ at this point, but Cedric is sending me a new
firmware
flash in an attempt to correct it - minor point at the moment.

It is incredibly cool to have a modern storage option for the //c and I
recommend this device highly!
