    Screen stretch and neon lights….

    512ke has been perfect for 10 years, now this funkiness out of nowhere…. Is anybody able to give me a starting point? And what do the neon lights do? I’ve never seen them lit up before…. I assume it’s diverting current from somewhere?

    External HD PSU

    I’m going to guess 5V, because there’s no regulator.. I love small cases like this, because you can put a SCSI2SD in there, and power it from the SCSI buss.... As a matter of fact, if ya decide you don’t want it, lemme know what you’d want for it.
