You'd need an RD1-PL IIRC, and they're sold out every place I know of, and IOSS has stopped manufacturing them. You can check the compatibility list at ioss.com.tw to be sure. This might be helpful as well: http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-April/019809.html
Oh, that's a shame, I'd just sent an order. I like the coloured handles. Well that does leave only one option for recovery which is the spare board & hot plug. Went ahead and flashed without success and was all ready to pack up with a glum face for the evening (hadn't even bothered with a serial cable) ... but on a tip from the linuxbios/EPIA wiki page, replaced my 256MB stick with 512MB and after a few seconds of hard drive clicking it came up on the network! Hooray! So from a cold boot, the board is now available on the network in about 30s - lame of course, I need to dig out a flash drive to fix that :) I'm sure there's room for improvement but I should at least dig out a serial cable before I try to optimise this too much more.
Thanks a lot,
