I must have missed you talking about this on the Discord, but oh man that's an amazing feature!

If it's a SCSI2SD V5, you typically don't need to use the power connector as it will get power over the SCSI cable's termination power http://www.codesrc.com/mediawiki/index.php/SCSI2SD#Technical_Specifications

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.  That sucks.  Not sure what I put down as the value of the first shipment, and if I put it as a gift or a commercial shipment, but I'm sure the value+postage was over 35GBP (Postage alone was 20GBP), so that one must have slipped by. first one I did the customs...

Not to turn this thread into an international shipping practices thread  :lol: , but the first shipment wasn't held for customs payment or anything, right? only this most recent one?

:O I thought it was supposed to be only for packages over like £125 had a customs charge, but apparently not.  that stinks!

In Adrian's latest mailcall video, someone sent him a solder stencil.  So I'm sure some kind of follow up video where he does a more proper technique will be released soonish

I didn't know you were on here!  Just wanted to say, that page/your images, have saved me so much time, getting my scsi2sd setup

I have not heard of it, but just looked into it a bit.  That's really cool! 

I like the idea of not being stuck with using the Apple drives, but the problem you'd run into with the IBM floppy drives, is it won't be able to handle 400k/800k disks, since there's a difference between how the drives read the disks/tracks.  Which is why, to write a 800k/400k disk, you need a...

I searched his username and found his Github, and it looks like he made a contribution to a repo Oct 18th, so he's still alive at least!

I personally use this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YYSP5F5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Which works for me But I'm sure the quality control on these isn't great, so your mileage may vary

Definitely agree with this.  I've been watching him for a couple of years now, and overall I find his videos very good and he typically, while maybe not having the best technique for certain things, can get things working.  It's not like he ruined a non-replaceable part.  He realized he wasn't...

Pretty sure the drive in a Duo is a SCSI drive, not an IDE, so at the moment your main choice is the SCSI2SD Powerbook edition(which appears to be sold out on the official site) There's a couple of other SCSI hard drive emulators in the works, (RASCSI, and the arduino based one), but as far as...

Nice find, and definitely has a good story to go with it! I don't use a CRT for most of my retro gaming anymore(I use an OSSC or Retrotink as an upscaler to hook up to my LCD), I definitely wouldn't turn one down at a good price like that! I do have a small JVC professional CRT, like 9", that...

For sure.  Just to make sure we're on the same page, 20x of the dual sockets?(so 40 sockets total?) or 10 of the dual sockets(so 20 sockets total?)

@Kai Robinson cool!  He has a great channel, and seems like a cool guy!  I have one of his calendars that he was selling for charity last year hanging on my wall @Phipli just noticed that! nice little easter egg

Did you send off one of your boards to RetroManCave? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4HD1jvzuS8

yeah, I was surprised when he sent me the pictures of it, and even more surprised when he checked both and they were in good shape!

And the final part of the G4 setup, a friend was at Goodwill and texted me that they had 2 Apple 17" LCDs in box for $75 total.  Looked online and that seemed like it was a good deal, especially in the box, so I had him pick them both up for me. First one works, haven't tried the 2nd one yet

I got a ZIP bezel for the G4 above, makes it look so much nicer. Also cleaned up the labels on the top. ZIP bezel was $10 on ebay, someone has some new-old-stock ones...
