OK. I found the new firmware and notes explaining, amongst other things, that that pin remapping does not work for the EM500/GA1000 combo. They do give a recommendd schematic, however.

I need to study all the documentation to be sure I can connect both the GA1000 & a flash memory chip to my EM500. As soon as I'm satisfied I will complete the layouts for the Tibbo ethernet shield as well as another design for my own use and get both as well as the ConnectOne shield ordered using CircuitMart's prototyping special terms. I should have the prototypes within 2 weeks. I already have the EM500 but have been waiting for all the above before ordering one. I'll get that on order so it will be here by the time the PCBs arrive.
