Greetings to my ~5-ish new followers within 24h - i'm sure you've read my profile/bio - ready to expect weirdness! You've been warned - you knew what you were opting-in to. ๐Ÿ––๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿป

My doodness! That #ASMedia #ASM2464 toot/thread really took off, over the previous 24h - much boost, very fave! ๐Ÿฅฐ

In case it didn't come across - it's ugly, but it saves about 60 Euro Dollar Schmeckles, compared to a finished product (old Intel 82599EN) - that's the point of all that!

Thanks y'all, you're welcome! ๐Ÿ‘

Here's Plan A, for my Thunderbolt/USB4 eNIC.

Most of the parts have been delivered. I'm still waiting for some 12V DC-DC boosters - the M.2 to PCIe x4 adaptor needs an external 12V supply.

I hope that i don't have to flash custom firmware onto that ASM2464PD, in order to handle PCIe instead of NVMe devices.
