Now there are 4Mb PCMCIA-friendly firmware

Well done! So if I understand the README correctly you can have 8 MB soldered to it but only 4 MB are used, and if you want to use the full 8MB later all you have to do is flash a different firmware?

EDIT: Or even easier: Use the 8 MB non-autoconfig firmware and choose with the addmem command how much to use?  :-o

BTW: What will be the advantage of the 2008 version?

From the README: :rtfm:

8mb NON-autoconfiguring version.

It is practically useless except for testing memory chips.

Another improvement is no need to tilt overCPU socket (instead, the board itself is two-level).

Could you explain that a little further? How will the new version be connected?

PS: Great job, but I guess I already said that  :-P
