Ahhh I've given up on anything happening for the RPi5 regarding the SPI stuff. Going my own way with a "roll my own" EPP card, got a little HP T610 Plus that should be fine for running the '53 based Myford ML7\Super 7 abomination. Or a Jxxxx dual core celeron board that gathering dust after jumping onto the Odroid bandwagon.
