    Fantastic! Glad you're unblocked and moving forward!

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    Honestly, I found PlatformIO to be significantly simpler to setup and use to compile here. It took care of the necessary library versions (thanks to the entries in the platformio.ini file). It really was as simple as I listed, and this is coming from someone who never touched it before. I had...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    Repeated on my Mac (running Tahoe), no issues. Installed VS Code Installed PlatformIO IDE through the Extensions Manager Downloaded Eric's github repo Unzipped this file, renamed the folder to just smartportsd Opened the folder in VS Code (File -> Open Folder) Clicked on/opened the...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    Alright, test done, compiled without incident and PlatformIO/VSCode downloaded the appropriate version of the greiman (not AdaFruit) SdFat library. I did the following: Installed VS Code from this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/ Installed Platform IO per their instructions here...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    It looks like you have the newest SDFat library version. How I know is this line from your logs: |-- SdFat - Adafruit Fork @ 2.3.54 EDIT: The oldest available now is 1.5.1 though from the looks of things, which is much newer than what Eric was using originally: I'll try back leveling to this...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    You're using too new a library and Arduino IDE. The original code was written for Arduino 1.8.X and the FAT32 library from 2021. Newer IDEs and libraries depreciated many of the functions in the code, hence the "Compilation error: use of deleted function" error you're getting. Eric's more...

    IIci exhaust fan duct thingy

    In this case probably not. Flipping the fan would likely conflict with the power supply's fan. By having the fan set to pull and exhaust, you're building a wind tunnel effect via negative pressure in the case, a lot like how server chassis are setup.

    Flash SIL3112 SATA Controller Card for Mac

    Sorry for resurrecting a dead thread but couldn't pass by without letting @SteveHere know this is now easily solvable for the Sil3112 SATA cards without the need to change ROM chips or anything. dosdude1 helped with patching the flash utility, the ROM and patch files as noted here...

    Over-engineered 4.5v Replacement

    It's possible but I do know the BIOS itself does measure the incoming voltage and will throw alarms if it dips too low. Alkaline cells tend to drop to around 1.2V when depleted, which comes out to about 3.6V, really close to the regular 3.7V of a lithium-ion cell. That's why I did the booster...

    Over-engineered 4.5v Replacement

    Howdy all, Figured I should post this here in case anyone else wants to follow suit. So what is it I did exactly? Well, I took an 18650 (16650 works too for smaller areas), connected it to an adjustable output boost converter/lion cell charger circuit, and used this concoction to replace the...

    Card Retainer Baffle - PM 7600 / G3 - photo request

    I could KISS you!! I've been laying the broken cover in my 7500 just so it still has some form of airflow direction. This solves one of the two major issues. The other being the plastic back corner broke so now the case flexes.

    Opinion Question: Tale of two CPUs

    It would support the 83MHz Overdrive...if they weren't at blood diamond money costs on FleaBay now. :/

    Opinion Question: Tale of two CPUs

    I have a Socket 3 board that works pretty well. It has 128K of cache (can go higher, just need good chips to put in it), and supports up to a DX4-100Mhz. I've thought about it a bit. It does support a 40MHz and 50MHz bus. So, if you had the choice of either of these two CPUs: DX4-100Mhz...

    Feasibility of connecting a PCI GPU to a MiniPCI slot

    Yeah, it should work just fine. You might need to provide some supplemental power to the 3.3v/5v lines since Mini PCI cards had a much lower draw than your standard PCI cards.
