The AnyCard (working title for the A2 USB and much more card) was ment
as a little toy to tinker with during KFest ... it wouldn't have been
realy apropriate to play with the C1 while atending KFest, so she came
up with that little card. It was quite some fun during these sleepless
days. onsidering the complex structure of the C1, the card was for
shure not more than a quick scetch to her.

And the C1 is also the reason why the card will be in a hiatus state
for the next 2-3 weeks, since Jeri prefers to finish some stuff at the
C1 FPGA core.

Beeing now back home, I just finished seting up my A2 to continue with
the basic drivers to configure the card. It is planned to have a small
site up soon to give out more informations about the AnyCard and its
programming.
