I think my Core / Sea BIOSed joggler might be overheating , its one of the betting shop ones ( thanks Pete ) but has no heat sink on it as the stand was removed .
This Am I booted it up no problems to desktop , used your tip Mick to enter wireless key , it connected OK , I went and had a cuppa , came back and it had crashed out again .,,

Pretty sure it is overheating now , left it and walked the dog , came back and same image on the Sandisk booted no problem , wireless set up , connection to BBC news site no bother , selected shut down , power cycled , booted up again but the wireless was not retained , can you confirm this is the same for you ?
My wireless keyboard and mouse off my old Revo work fine on this so I've ditched the wired ones I was using .
Happy Joggling

Have now got the installer USB to run on the Joggler, before I used another PC to install to the USB stick because I couldn't get it to boot on the Joggler.
Don't know if it will make any difference time will tell.
Take no notice of the time left for the install its been installing for the last 40mins

Is there anything the Joggler can't be made to do?

Hi Dwl99 Managed to get it to boot from the external hdd now , re formatted using hp utility , used Laptop to partition 100gig / 500 gig , installed it to the 100gig partition using win32 .7 , booted up no problem .
Slightly slower than the SanDisk but still working .
Are you getting the same crashes as me Mickchip ? Just making sure before I try to source a heat sink for my Joggler as that's what I'm blaming at the moment :-) everything seems to work but downloading stuff i.e programs won't install but do download ok .
Also wireless still not surviving re boot .

Wireless is the same on mine, have to set it each boot, mine seems quite stable and I'm also using a betting shop joggler.
Haven't tried installing anything yet, will give it a try tomorrow

I'm still working on it, trying Refit, Refind, Clover, Grub but still no luck.
I think maybe the joggler EFI is not up to it as I've also tried Windows 8.1 & 10

A small update, still with Coreboot/Seabios but with clover for efi boot.
I can now boot windows & OSX in efi mode using CLOVER.
Only trouble is I can't get clover to boot off the jogglers efi, will keep trying.

Love it .

No, that's not arrived yet, it is on a 32gb Kingspec 16gb for each OS and an EFI partition all done on a mackintosh.
Still working on getting it to boot on a standard joggler but not having much luck.

Great stuff mickchip!!!!

Here still waiting for my zif 64 Gb SSD (IE: not 32 Gb).

It seems that the vendor for Amazon doesn't have one in stock and rather than remove his selling links put it on hold which personally is a joke.

Still waiting here.

I had a 32Gb Kingspec USB stick sent it off to another Joggler forum user.

I only have 8Gb (bunches) of the Kingspec USB SSD sticks.

I do have 32Gb micro SD cards and USB sockets for these.

Would that work?

Note too I am only a little bit familiar with EFI booting and not familiar with iOS and EFI booting; such that I may not be much help.

That's OK Pete, I have now tried Clover, Refit & Refind. Refind comes the closest on EFI jogglers
Next I will give GRUB a try, also still waiting for my 64gb USB SSD stick and when I get time I will set up a joggler with Pata,
on my original one the little catch broke and I had the zif cable wedged in but now it's completely had it.

I have broken one of those ZIF catches before here. I did fix it with another similarly designed ZIF clip. It is a real PITA because the sides of the catch and the levers are tiny.

This is with Refind, booting in safe mode.
I think there is a memory allocation bug in the jogglers EFI bios.
