Hi there, cool that the project is still chugging along :-)

Got a question though about testing it ...

Would it be easier to drop in an eprom on the A4000 motherboard (replacing the existing Kickstart ROMs) with enough software on it to kick the Coldfire CPU to life, then have it boot whatever else is required for the OS from disk ?
Could even do something fancy like use the FLASH on board the CPU board and plumb it into the Kickstart sockets using a ribbon cable .. would allow flash updating then.
Either way it might give you more control over the startup of the board.

Just a thought, ignore me if it's already been thought of and discarded as crap :-)
