I ordered mine the same time, hopefully it'll show up on Monday, looking
really forward to trying it out.

I ordered my board as soon as I got the announcement

the board today (Saturday) and took it for a spin - imaged an Apple
16-sector disk and an MSDOS 1.2M disk using a YD-380 as the source drive.
Both worked great - the Apple disk produced a .dsk file that opened and read
in CiderPress and the DOS disk produced a .img file that looked good in
WinImage.
I was tempted to hook it up to an 8" drive using my DBIT adapter but
hesitated based on the discussions here. Would the DBIT adapter provide the
necessary buffering to drive a Shugart 801? I really like the idea of an 8"
drive connected to a netbook.
