I guess he's been too busy with the project to mention it here. I did email
him about it when I heard of it on Fri, and he said he'll be releasing all the
info on it.
The sad thing was he wanted to just buy a Diskferret, but couldn't. The good thing
is it is based on a fairly popular FPGA board.
I'll probably do a ST412 version of the level converter board when I can get the
technical info.
