Not yet, but see an earlier post, the thing is alive and present on my 
local net. Currently with a raspbian 9 card in it. It was at a duplicate 
address of the rpi3 because the card had been in the 3 and configured to 
its name & address, changed all that to unique stuff, rebooted and still 
there, just no local video.  Now, after I make coffee, fix the rest of 
the local nets /etc/hosts files. Then I can play some more. :) Like hook 
up a mesa 7i90 interface card and find out if the new spi driver works.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
