Hello Christopher,

Sorry but I tried multiple O.S. but always problems like with "Jessie" following this "PiFace Digital 2 - setup and use" procedure on "https://www.element14.com/community/message/133136/l/piface-digital-2-setup-and-use#133136" but the mainly problem is that some links are invalid :

Thank you for your answer but this does not allow me to move forward !

Please could you send to me these information ?

- The recommended O.S. , distrib and version like "2017-07-05-raspbian-jessie" , "2020-02-13-raspbian-buster" , "2018-04-18-raspbian-stretch" , and so on.

- Which procedure must I use ? Like "http://piface.github.io/pifacedigitalio/installation.html" but I found some problems with "pifacedigitalio" unreachable.

- Which type of µSD Card ? Like "SAMSUNG EVO 32 GB HC1 A1" , "SanDisk Ultra 64 GB XC1" , "SanDisk Extreme PRO 64 GB XC1 V30 A2" , and so on.

This link works well : "http://web.archive.org/web/20180222130452/http://pi.cs.man.ac.uk/download/"

But the result of its links are the folowing :

Thanks in advance for your answers and have a nice day ,

davinha, before I go down a rabbit hole of finding these files from the internet archives, I'll ask internally to see what the support status of this hardware is.

Thank you very much Christopher , for your help !
