Ok, final bugs tracked down, and I'm now playing some games on the Enterprise from SD card. :)

I need to add write support now and tidy things up, but its working..... :smt040

Soon... :)

Working on tidying up the code, then I'll stick some pics or a video or something up.

I've been working on tidying up the SD card driver -- added a nice boot screen with hi-res text display. Some pictures of it working... :)

Woooo, cool, really :) Now this combined rom+ram+sd solution (with external SPI) does everything I was thinking about in the past. Except one: some kind a - let's name it - "short bus" to easly add simple hardwares (which are not SPI) doing only 8 bit I/O and some pre-decoded select signals etc with more compact connector. But besides that it can do everything now, most people would ever require :) A typical example for this: adding an RTC chip. Otherwise you would require to decode the I/O port, the control bus signals etc and you also need a large, not so easy to get/build connector just to connect a little IC onto your lovely EP :)

If it is done, then try to test with this little program: for the first run create 4MB TESTFILE.BIN with pseudo random numbers.
At the second run when the .BIN exist verify it.
If error found then halt with flashing border color, if all ok will return to ENTERPRISE screen.

Thanks Zozo! I wrote the write sector code and added the correct status bits for other routines last night, but haven't had a chance to test yet. This program will be very useful, thanks! :)

I'll see if I have room on the PCB / CPLD for a generic I/O port on the next revision of the PCB as well... :)
