Merrick Bill Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 You can also buy a case from MegaHz How much does MegaHz charge and where can I get in touch with him? Bill http://mega-hz.no-ip.com/ Well, I couldn't make heads or tails of his website (I don't speak German). And I couldn't even find the SIO2SD case on that page. Can anyone give me a little more help? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morelenmir Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 This is a very old thread, however it has the right title! Has anyone who made their own used a blank project box rather than a repurposed piece of Atari equipment or a purpose-made case? You can get just about every size and shape for under £10 on ebay I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morelenmir Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'd like to add only one picture ... A picture that says it all!!! I can imagine the work that took; very impressive. I may also steal your idea!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
576XE Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Do IT, but faster! I stealed it from Panasonic! Mu-ha-ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
576XE Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 By the way... No one thought about new Atari controller - Direction Pad. But it may be USEFUL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morelenmir Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 On the main circuit board for the barebones Lotharek "SIO2SD" there are two groups of pin-header/jumper pads - see the highlighted photo below. What are these for? Is it worth attaching headers for future use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 JTAG header, presumably the same as the one on Ultimate 1MB (also unpopulated). Header makes it nice and complete, but you'll never need it unless the AtMega needs reprogramming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if they are - very helpful - attachment points for external LED's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 More than likely, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morelenmir Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 More than likely, but I'm not sure. I guess a bit of continuity testing is called for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morelenmir Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 More than likely, but I'm not sure. ...And it turns out they are!. Excellent - that makes one aspect of fitting an aweful lot less fiddly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morelenmir Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think 'JP1' leads to orange 'D4' that lights on perhaps flashing the firmware, 'JP2' leads to red 'D3' which lights on 'Read' and 'JP3' leads to green 'D4' which lights on 'Write'. Maybe... I did not have different colours of LED in my spares, only red - so I will have to label them on my case. On the whole it has been a learning experience. I will probably try again when I can get a another box and some coloured LED's and some better switches. A lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
