Hi folks!
@Spektro: It is possible to deliver the SD2IEC 264 with a power socket. I did that before
for somebody who wanted a similar device for his SX-64.
The only reason for this cable is to draw power from the computer. My concern is,
if people use their own AC-adapters with a higher idle voltage, if you know what
I mean. The 5V-Circuit in the SD2IEC is not especially protected against
overvoltage yet. Due to all of your requests, I seriously think about redesigning
the PCB as well. If anyone orders a device with power socket, I will include an
adequate AC-adapter (for safety reasons) for the time being.
@Gerorge: I had several regular SD-cards in this device, and they've all worked fine.
Even older ones without the extra pin worked. The firmware definately supports
both FAT-systems (see links included in the manual - the authors of the firmware
made detailed descriptions there - way too much to put into the manual).
If there are too many issues, we can offer a free upgrade to the SD2IEC
software - it was written for the C64, but works on the 264s as well.
Nice thought about square LEDs though - I will give it a try ...
You will be happy to hear, that we already redesigned the case and planned
to use the little buttons here as well. Furthermore, the DC-function will be
available. I will post photos here, as soon as they've been built.
Regards,
Andre
