What interface card are you using? I have a 7i90 setup for high speed spi on my pi 3. So I'm going to try it first.
Looks like once the git clone is installed on the SSD, I should swap to the pi4 (after I get some heat sinks for it, I'll have it upside down with a fan under it so the spi cable is straight and only an inch long) do another debian-arm net-install, then follow your rpi4-emc recipe above. If the rpi3b build on buster works, I'll put it on my web page. Have you tried the RealtimePi conversion? I built one on stretch that works, and its on my web page, but the author hasn't (that I know of) switched to a newer realtime kernel that knows about the pi3's new video drivers that raspian is now using in its buster look-a-like. I'd scan his site daily for news about that simply because glxgears, pulled out to full screen with a non-realtime buster kernel does 27 to 28 fps with the new drivers! Without them, 1.7 fps is about normal. Enjoy the rest of the holiday John, I can wait & do my own piddling around at my own speed (till they get me fixed next month) in the meantime. We have company in from New York for the weekend. Dee's niece, whose man runs a farm of around 2 sections, with several more leased from Cornell in Ithaca. He was milking about 80 cows, but that stopped when the money stopped, so now he's breeding & selling good dairy stock and running about 2/3rds pasture and 2 sections or so of corn.
