+Stephen Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 In excitement (as opposed to just being dull) I misread this post, and thought the enclosure was in fact, for the rev 2 of the PCB. Is there any chance you would finish your design for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandal968 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Is there any chance you would finish your design for that? Very doubtful. On the Rev 2 version, I was bogged-down with the poor button placement, and the lack of accommodations for mounting in a case. That's why, the minute the Rev 3 version came out, I shifted my efforts to that one. It was simpler, has much better ergonomics, much better mounting, smaller size, etc. The size is a big deal too. Since the Rev 2 board is bigger and doesn't have mounting holes, it requires a much larger enclosure. It would probably cost $30-$40 more just for the extra plastic, and the finished product wouldn't be as nice. Since you can get the Rev 3 board for $55, the math didn't make any sense to finish the other version. Also. It would probably take me 10-12 hours to finish the Rev2 version. Since I've sold a grand-total of ONE of the Rev 3 enclosures (making a tidy $10 profit), spending that amount of time for another $10 is a pretty low labor rate. Economics didn't apply to finishing the Rev 3 version since I wanted it for myself, whether it made economic sense or not. cheers, c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just get on with the XM301 case mod then. I would like to start using the device occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandal968 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Not sure if anyone cares, but I got an email from Shapeways today. They are having a 20.11% off sale on the white strong & flexible plastic from now until new-years. So if anyone was thinking about ordering an SIO2SD v3 enclosure, you can get it for about $14 cheaper than normal for the next three days. cheers, c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmond Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Does anyone know if SIO2SD3 is still available? Getting emails bounced from mega-hz (and yes, I had the subject line set correctly!) Thanks, Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Wes He may be tied up on some project and unable to reply at this time, according to his profile he hasn`t been on Atariage since March 21. His website address changed recently so his email address might have as well, you could try sending him a PM through the forum, or via the ICQ/Skype IDs listed in his profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfram moved to a new appartment, got a new DSL connection and his email address changed: the new one is mega_hz@... , the old mega-hz@... no longer works.

venom4728a Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Does anybody know where to find the Instructions for this version of SIO2SD3. Like which pins to connect to SIO? I have looked on Mega-hz website and cannot find this information. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
