Nice! Please report how people liked it.

Note that currently there are two known problems: Two users (I shipped
more than 100 cartridges) reported flash write errors with some C64C
models, which was a timing problem and which I fixed (one sent me his
C64C, see http://tinyurl.com/n7mhogp for a detailed description of the
problem, "gartenzwerg" is my nick in this forum). The CPLD can be
updated with a Xilinx platform cable or other JTAG Xilinx programmers,
like a "Bus Pirate", but I'll send a replacement for free, if someone
has the problem. I've already sent a replacement cartridge to the other
user.

The other problem is a checksum error with some USB MIDI interfaces when
transfering data from the PC to tha C64. I'm still investigating this
problem, might be a buffer overflow on the C64 side because some
interfaces send to fast, but it works with the USB MIDI interface which
you have.

And I started the developer documentation:

https://github.com/FrankBuss/kerberos/raw/master/doc/developers-guide.pdf

The User's Guide is still the old one, at
http://www.frank-buss.de/kerberos/ I'll add some more details later,
like the CC commands for Cynthcart etc.

I'll send an update eMail to all buyers when the other user confirms
that the replacement works and when I found the USB MIDI interface problem.
