Hi,
I have centronics. (Schneider CPC6128)
I am using the M4 board with the Motherx4 board with internal power.
(My power is coming via a custom power pack I bought on ebay, so
I would not need to use the green monitor I have. :-) )
I do not use any other expansion.
I had some problems when I tried to set this up first,
gray screen with black border, but then I reattached the
connectors more firmly so it started to work.
Do you think I need to clean the centronics port too???
For the motherx4 I got two plastic small latch like thing(?)
that I think I should have attached to the expansion
connector on the motherx4, but I was not able to find out
how I am supposed to attach it to the connector.
(I can take a picture of those, because I might be wrong.
I did not receive any instructions unfortunately.)
The m4 board seemed to sit on tightly on the Motherx4
without them...
Anyway, I will test the M4 board without the Motherx4
again and powered via the usb and see if it works well without it.
I will examine the centronics connector on the cpc as well.
I am not sure, does it need cleaning?
Anyway, thanks a lot for your response.

Yes, I did in the end upgraded via the SD card. It was successful.
(The version number is 1.0.9 and the bin files disappeared from the
root folder so I would say it went well.)
Yes, I have some roms, Symbos 2.1, Protext and utopia.
My network setup is okay, I think, I am able to load the control webpage of the
board without problem.

Do you have an edge connector or a centronics one?
In the cas eof an edge connector, I'd clean it thorougly. Then I'd try to power the M4 board externally.
Any other expansions you have connected?
