Simius Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) WARNING: Hard disk can be mounted on the IDE Plus 2.0 adapter using attached, plastic spacers ONLY. Top copper surface of the PCB around some mounting holes is connected to the +5V power supply and metal spacers, if damage the soldering mask, may cause of short circuit to the disk chassis.

Almost Rice Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Uh Oh... Metalguy may reinstate the Ass-Rig designation of this device... paper, isolating electric since the 1800's :'D Ken saw my 256K Newell upgrade isolated by 3x5 index card that I put in my 800xl back in the day. I know he wanted to scream "Ass-Rig" but didnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well, this will certainly make the whole venture just that little bit more exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Firedawg Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Uh Oh... Metalguy may reinstate the Ass-Rig ™ designation of this device... Not sure if an important electrical safety adherence notification would now classify this board as "Ass-Rig", but I do appreciate the update as to the mounting holes electrical surroundings. Thanks Simius for the update. Firedawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloopy Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Ass-Rig™ is a UL/CSA designation, officially recognised by standards bodies around the world... ;') sloopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Indeed, and only a select handful of esteemed Atari peripheral manufacturers are Ass-Rig™ registered. To gain membership of this elite group is no small feat. However, I don't think the IDE Plus 2.0 qualifies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Firedawg Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Just look for this sign: I believe that this standard measurement should be "Certified" rather than "Registered". Are we sure that there is not a compliancy to a standard to meet a particular certification, say "Ass-Rig", that must be adhered to rather than a simple registration requirement?

In the UK we have "CORGI Registered", etc, but since many Ass-Rig™ Certified manufacturers are in the US, I've changed it.
