Very nice!

Maybe I should drill these holes by default the next time I prepare the cases?

seems to me that the firmware has not yet the ability to remove items from flash, I'm wrong ? may I just remove everything ? and how ? may I change the order of the items in flash ? There will be new firmware updates ? The flash memory chip can erase large blocks only (IHMO 64 KB), so deleting a si...

Hmm, the bootloader that Shadowolf modified and Unseen has on his web site supports partitions, although only the latest code I sent Unseen supports FAT32 filesystems. I used bootloader_LarsP_M644.hex from http://sd2iec.de/bootloader/sd2iec_bootloader_2008-07-09+LarsP.zip In any event, I'd recommen...

I was hoping to see the FE in action last weekend, but the kit Zorro soldered together never did seem to work. He had sourced some chip from another to be able to update the firmware from SD, perhaps that chip was not properly programmed after all. Zorro visited me today and we found and fixed the ...

Can I get information on the "case" you're planning? I'm working on a mold for VIC cases, but I'd rather not duplicate effort. Great! We've got a (limited of course) number of unused old cases. We are NOT working on a mold - so I highly appreciate your work and would be happy if I'd could...

The PCBs for the prototypes are ordered and should arrive in approx. 2 weeks.
