Been a while since I've had time to hang around here! I am playing a bit with my vintage computers again.
I have a floppy emu and am rediscovering how much I love it. So much, that I'm seriously starting to think about buying additional units so that I can keep them permanently attached to different machines.
Does anyone out there have much experience running a Floppy EMU long-term without a plastic case? For my first one, I bought the case, and it works great, but I wanted to chop all my fingers off after putting it together. I am not handy with the small parts (vintage computer hobbyist irony alert). Not complaining, I think it's wonderful that BMOW makes the case available at all, but I would like to avoid the pain of putting that thing together three or four more times. Does the board get dirty or damaged too easily if you use it naked? Any tips for storing/protecting it without the case?
