Hi Rui,
I too bought one of jim brains uIEC devices at the show. You can still use the
uIEC with an sd card ok, the bootloder
just allows the new firmware to be loaded from the sd card to update it.
Daniel Kovacs picked up a 1gig card on the way
home from Woc and reports that it does indeed work ok.
One other note, I too enjoyed the show and saw a few new faces of people I'd
only talked to online. Jim brain is one,
another is "tone007" (sorry forgot his name) who did the black amigas and the
purple / green joker 64 and some others.
Aside from the uIEC I got, also picked up a couple zip disks & some books &
magazines, and a copy of newsroom.
bfn,
James
