    Feature comparison of the various SCSI to SD options?

    I'm planning to update my downloads page and add some new guides to my website for the various SCSI to SD options that are now on the market. As a first step, I'm creating a list of current options and doing a basic feature comparison. Reading through the guides for BlueSCSI and ZuluSCSI, I...

    Looking for the Plastic guard that goes around the pins for a PDS card

    I have an accelerator card for the SE that is missing the plastic guard that typically goes around the pins for the PDS connector. Is there anywhere I can purchase these, or will I need to take it off something else? Picture is an example of what I'm looking for.

    APS 5pin mini-din power brick replacement?

    I recently picked up a collection of external APS enclosures missing their power adapters. They use 5-pin mini-din connectors. Unfortunately the enclosures don't say much other than 90-240 VAC 50-60Hz. I tried looking through the apstech.com site on the way back machine but didn't find any...

    Centris 660av power button extender rod

    I picked up a 660av that seems to be missing part of the extension rod that runs from the front of the case to the powered supply, or some other piece. It is to short to toggle the power on and off. Does anyone have a 660av and can take a picture of where the white extension rod in the case...

    HD SC setup and 2GB and 4GB volumes/partitions

    Experimenting with a new SCSI2SD setup with a FAT32 formatted SD card containing volume files (similar to Andrew's exFAT version). One thing I discovered as part of my experimentation was a couple of sizing quirks when I use HD SC setup: HD SC setup automatically reduces 2GB volumes I tried to...

    Actual capacity of 32GB SD cards

    So, I'm working on something for my SCSI2SD to make it easier to work with following the same idea as what Andrew did with an exFAT SD card. To deal with the varying "actual" capacity of SD cards my plan was originally to have a 29GB file that people can RAW-write to an SD card that will create...

    Upgrading a Mobius 030 board

    I recently acquired a SE FDHD with a Mobius 030 board that I'm trying to upgrade with a full 030 CPU and 16MB of 60ns ram. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to remove the existing ram from the Mobius board. Instead of the usual SIMM clips the Mobius 30 pin sims seem to be locked in place...
