The console does work on the Pi Zero, and you can login. On my setup there was a screen blanking issue, but I think that can be easily chanced by editing the config files, even on windows.
I did use a Linux PC to access and edit the config files in the ext4 partition, but I still couldn't get it to reconnect to the network. I must have changed/broken something else. Oh well, lesson learned and not a big issue. I reflashed the SD and reconfigured it. This time I took a backup, and I am currently using that to clone about another 5 or 6 Pi Zero / Just Boom DAC zero combo's for around the house
(It's quicker to clone the SD and chance the hostname after, mainly because building the music database takes so long on the Zero.)
Thanks again for you help. I will mark this as solved. Oh and I need to remember to order a USB to Ethernet adapter or an ethernet hat.
