dwhyte Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Look. I was involved in a heated thread earlier this year and now looking back on it, I wish I had maintained my composure. Arguing in an open forum, for everyone to see, is not recommended. I let my anger get the best of me, and in turn presented myself as a forum troll, which is not the case. "...Anger gets a person nowhere, it divides. Eloquently presenting your words on the other hand, has the potential to unify..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDrive web page - english Looks great! How do I buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDrive web page - english Looks great! How do I buy one? Its an open source project. You will most likely have to build it or find someone who can. It would be great if a run of circuit boards were made. Looks like Digikey (www.digikey.com) has all the parts.

a8maestro Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Hi, A few of us are talking about this in chat. We are looking into making pcbs, but with a couple of changes... *) replacing the db15 with an SIO jack *) replacing the dip sw with small 1/4" push on/off types like the momentary. Fully 2 sided plated hole nice boards could be done for about $12.00 ea. I am also looking into a parts number list. What do you think? Rick D.

+bf2k+ Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 ... What do you think? Rick D. I'll buy one!! Put me on the list. Hey where can you get SIO jacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a8maestro Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) ... What do you think? Rick D. I'll buy one!! Put me on the list. Hey where can you get SIO jacks? Old atari equipment(never throw away dead stuff without stripping first ), Best Electronics, possibly B&C. I have a few for my stuff/stuff I sell, at a premium. It will be in the list when done. Or you can just solder in an sio cable cut in half (or both halves so its not a dead end device). RickD.

I'm planning to build an SDrive in the New Year, I was planning to either built it on strip board or etch my own PCB. I'd be interested in a pre-made PCB. Hopefully you wouldn't mind shipping to the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepping up to a better AVR will allow "un-doing" of the changes that were made to the FAT routines. Trying to think of a better way to do drive selections, seems clunky to me.

c0nsumer Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I apologize for not seeing this thread before posting my other one, but I've got plans to produce SDrive PCBs within the next month or so. The bulk of the work (part selection, schematic capture, board layout) is done, so now I'm just waiting for some parts to come in before I order the prototype run of boards. Please see this thread for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
