Subject: 32016 Second Processor on DE0 Nano

Great work John, thanks for releasing this. I've got it working happily
with IDE ADFS  but has anyone tried an econet install? I can't get it to
play ball, it frequently complains of files not being found or already
existing when copying across, even trying to do it manually. The same disks
worked for the ADFS install so I don't think the issue is with the source.

Only other datatpoint that might be relevant, I do have nIRQ disconnected
on my tube silencer as I wasn't comfortable about feeding 5V into the fpga.
Could that be the issue?

I can do a more detailed report this evening but wondered if there were any
initial ideas.

Cheers,
Daniel.
