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!
