+orpheuswaking Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Okay, So I want to set up my system permanently with my two drive and the SIO2PC, but I also have an XC12 I use occasionally and I don't want to have to keep plugging in and out the SIO connector. Anyone have any ideas how I can get around this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any ideas how I can get around this? You're going to have use your 1010, I don't think the SIO2PC has the +5 V needed to run the XC12.

I'm trying to avoid paying for a new 1010 PSU (mine is gone in a move somewhere) plus I know the XC12 works, but not sure on the 1010.... however my primary problem is that the SIO2PC I have has the one SIO and one Serial connector, so even if I wanted to use the XC12 I couldn't as it has to be the end of the chain and then I Can't plug it into the SIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Guitarman Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 That's were one of those Octopus adapters would come in handy!! And one just recently sold on E-bay. It shouldn't be too hard to make one, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Best option: build the APE/SIO2P into the actual computer. Or, consider putting it inside a disk or cassette drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm about as useful as a chocolate teapot, I wouldn't know how to begin and I would be worried about destroying my SIO2PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
