I have a similar question -- it seems that the D7404A toolset (OCCAM) and D7141A toolset (C) now only support the B004 and B008 cards -- no third party link interface boards are supported. So how are we supposed to use these toolsets when SGS-Thompson is no longer supplying these boards?! Lucky for me that the "old" iserver still works, so that I can actually use the third party link interface boards that I already had (except for the point mentioned above...) But of course I can't use the debugger, since it's windows based... Has anyone used D7405A/D7414A with third-party link interface boards? I'd love to hear how you did it...
