I haven't worked on it in a while due to work commitments. But there is
this:

Though I've recently updated the design to use an iCE40, open toolchain,
and changed the form factor to be more of a module.
I need another board spin to make more progress and that is searching
for time in my schedule to compelte.

So soes anyone have one (or more) they can recommend? (IDE simulators

don't want to have to mess around changing anything more than I
_absolutely_

in an online search - the CFADPTHD seems like it's close to what I'd
want,
except it's Compact Flash; I'd have preferred SD but I guess converting
their interface to IDE is more work.
