[Gc-linux-devel] SDcard building

[Alan H. <aha...@ee...>]

The best bet is usually to scrape off the solder mask and then bodge it 
to the exposed track. Theres a lot of examples of this over at the gcdev 
forum (http://www.gcdev.com/phpBB2/index.php).

If you have problems, you can buy premade sd adaptors at my site 
http://www.gamesfairy.co.uk as well as preconfigured Action Replay.
