My effort, failed. I was tripped up by too many niggly details:
1) Had to find a micro HDMI cable.
2) The power adapter I bought for it has a slightly wrongly sized barrel plug making power intermittent.
3) I still don't have that micro USB OTG connector or a HUB for the keyboard and mouse.
4) And the last straw, the OS image from resin.io did not boot.
Today I tried again and discovered that the resin image does boot and connect itself to resin.io if one disables HDMI. Hurray!
Problems continue:
1) That Porcupine break outboard was probably too expensive for me to justify buying, it's not available any more so all the GPIO goes to waste here.
2) Where is the serial port I can connect to a Propeller?
resin.io is brilliant by the way. I now have a bunch of headless, WIFI connected Pi here all set up very easily via resin and having the application code pushed out to them en masse.
The parallela is ordered via my university, the paperwork is in progress; I think I may get it at the end of June. They have only this version available here:

Propeller has been ported to Spartan-6 LX45/25 (by Magnus for Saanlima Pipistrello board) and Zynq 7010 (by Antti for its OZOM board).
I was inspired to get into action with it when I saw they were putting together a distributed super computer using resin.io that would be demoed at the Tokyo conference last week. Thought it would be cool to donate some cycles to that effort. https://www.parallella.org/2015/05/25/help-us-build-the-worlds-most-efficient-supercomputer/
