I don't know if anybody is following the latest who? drama over at the Seti NC board, but he's pointed out that the 2.4 source code is not available here.
Anybody know what to do about that?

Hi There,
I am Following it quite closely out of interest in new processors really. It is good Entertainment for sure :D.
What to do is an open question. My personal belief is the 2.4 variants are platform specific (compiler switches) variants of 2.3S9 . If you carefully build 2.3S9 to your specific platform it 'should' perform the same speed or faster than 2.4 or 2.4V in my opinion (could be wrong). [The link to that source supplied by Joe is in My thread "First Time Build Try..."]
If you need help getting an initial build to function, the tutorial on this site still applies, and there is help, from me where I can , probably Joe and Others.
...So at least here some source, tutorials, and support are available... So I would suggest what to do is wait... There is no need to get caught up in the angst and hype. None of the minor proposed code changes warrrant getting too excited In my view...
