David -

I think so...

I can switch drives easily using QO34,1 and QO34,0

The only bootable system I have is a ADC SuperSIX card - that runs 
CPM2.2.  The MyIDE program won't switch properly, but I think it may be 
a CPM3.0 vs CPM2.2 problem, or possibly related to incomplete port 
mapping on the ADC card.  The rom version of MYIDE seems fine (although 
it doesn't support switching drives).

At this point I'm within striking distance of a bootable system. As far 
as I can tell I have Z80 CPU, 1 and 2 slot IDE cards, Serial I/O, 4mb 
SRAM, SMB, Propeller Console I/O and Parallel I/O cards that are working 
properly.  I can get to the V4.57 monitor and all seems to function.

I'm almost done with the ZFDC card too.  I'm waiting for some Teac 
HF-235GF drives that are switchable to 360rpm so I can write a substance

The only curiosity is that I can't use the V5.02 rom.  I get a few lines 
of garbage on the Console I/O and then it locks up.    I'll try 
re-building it again to see if that's the problem.  It looks like it 
should work fine with my current board assortment.  I'll also have to 
look over the Console I/O jumpers to see if I've miss-wired something.
