Uhhhh, errrr, ummm. "Whoops." (Maybe my .sig is appropriate
here, huh?)
Sorry about that. I've been switching back and forth between the
EVBU and the EVB so much that I've gotten them confused. The EVBU
has a very similar P1 connector, which *can* be used to add in more
memory-mapped hardware. Most of the stuff I've added to the EVB
board has been driven off of I/O signals from the various single-
chip ports. Oh well.
Not to mention the fact that I keep hacking on the buffalo ROM
to add in my own custom routines. I keep thinking it's something
*I* added in. :-)
