Wasn't too happy with the floppy cable so made a new one (after a few attempts ... forgot the twist, did the twist in the wrong place, crimped two wires on top of each other ... *sigh*)

Also noticed that the CF interface board was potentially touching the XT-IDE board and thus causing all sorts of weird behaviour ... so moved the board across one slot.

Checked "Defender of the Crown" again ... the tournament graphics weren't corrupted this time.

Thinking about moving the CF interface to the HDD plate at the front of the machine, so it can be removed like a floppy disc ...
