Atari-Collector Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Other then the obvious facts of the case, is there any different in an SIO2SD with or without a case except the big difference in price? Which I can't s why the big difference.. So at the risk of sounding dum yet again, I"m asking the question ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+slx Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Functionally no, but casing is not that easy as you need to cater for five buttons, three LEDs and a display which - at least in my version - are all at different "heights". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I made about a dozen of these bad-boys: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level42 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) It's a lot of work to case them and hours=money. Flash jazzy: do you also make XL looking one's ? Edited January 8, 2015 by Level42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have been known to: Actually I sold my own XL version and need to make a replacement (I have a 1064 case lying around), but I can't muster the enthusiasm since I rarely use the SIO2SD device now.

Why don't you use it very often?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought on the floppy drive emulators he makes for my TRS-80, so once I get that and see how it runs I'll probably get an SIO2SD. I do have 3 good Atari floppy drive, and a homemade SIO2PC.. But I'm think a SD card solution would be a easy way to put all my disk in one place and make it fairly easy to move between my 800 and 600XL I may go do a cased version since I've never been that great on building custom cases.

flashjazzcat Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Why don't you use it very often?? It was just kind of superseded by the various HDD solutions and SIO2PC for what I typically do (development). I found poking away at those buttons a little fiddly as well, especially when the later firmwares came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
