I got mine just the other day and had time to check it out.
Ditto the above comment about the great work on this card.

Just wanted to post a note though about the power problem which
had me puzzled until I emailed Steve, who replied quickly with a
very helpful email.

If you're short on time like me - and you only read the usage
guide, not the flashing guide etc - note that in addition to the
4 voltage LEDs there is a "DONE" LED which lights up after the
FPGA is successfully programmed on start up.

If the "done" LED doesn't light it's probably a power ramp-up
problem, and you'll have to remove other cards, try a different
machine, or re-cap or otherwise renovate your power supply.

Cheers,
Nick.
