I guess it would be wise to smash the whole thing to bits and throw it into a fire? That'll show 'em! In the mean time, I have a practical need for something that supports SATA and has no fan. I hate hate hate fans! The Pi is unreliable with a USB hard drive what with its USB and Ethernet being on shared interrupts. BTDT, lost the data once. Other boards don't have the accessory support of the Pi or Olimex. At least with this board I acquired a nice case that will also house an SSD. To close this out, I worked with parazyd for a while on IRC this morning and this noon and his assessment is that the hardware drivers are loaded and things should be working. Well, it's not so back to the Olimex Debian image from which I've already excised systemd and chopped it down to a lean 253 packages, though I will add a few Python packages to support the weather station processing software. Perhaps once ascii goes stable and parazyd releases new images, I'll try it again. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
