Thanks! Looks like a good start. I think I'll do the Personality Card riser first. I have seven or eight desktops with cards that someone gave me. I don't care at all if I blow some up after I cull the worst boards and their A/V cards. edit: thanks so much for the PCIe/PCI pitch info. Haven't...

Yep, that PCIe card was the only thing useful that turned up when I signed up and searched GitHub today. Hoping someone might point me to a better example. Nice to find out that KiCad has the PCI edgecard connector in its library. PCIe has the same pitch as PCI from what I've seen, no? Sorry...

Cardboard prototype installed and cabled up in my 6360 drawer shows how the setback works: Multiple views from different angles are in thread. TAM TwinSlot Riser is up here at the top: 6360/5x00 TwinSlot Riser's down here at the bottom. In between, the TAM card is seen as an overlay of the...

. . . his hands and clothes always smell fishy! I'll look around for the AI files locally. They're posted all over the place at the MLA. :rolleyes: edit: took a look around and apparently they're here. Found my visual AI schematic. My brain does pictures, doesn't grok schematics...

Aha, sorry wasn't clear at all, I'm doing simple, passive right angle risers for PCI Macs and one for the personality card card in Beige G3. TwinSlot PCI Riser for my 6360 with second slot set back for connector clearance. Also suitable for 5x00 models. TwinSlot PCI Riser for TAM - with setback...

Confusing original post. Will have topic title changed for clarity, skip to: https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/pci-riser-design-rework-of-github-pcie-riser-howto.5191/post-45946...

Back on topic: what the heck is going on over there?

I worded my post badly right at the start. The rest of the sentence is in agreement with you: "So get the heck off Discord! Maybe use it as texting and the like. Post information on forums swept by the Archive or all is lost, no?" Agree wholeheartedly about using discord/whatever as chat. So...

That's exactly what happened with one of the projects that I started on a forum that broke off from the MLA over some serious differences way back. I picked up the challenge of gamba's abandoned PowerCache adapter project there. Took it back over to MLA when that forum*** closed up shop. @Bolle...

Amen to all of that, JDW! I tend to post my somewhat less than sane projects over here because of the editing flexibility. Haven't completed one (it's the research, procurement of parts and the process, not the end product that appeals most to me***) far enough along to post it over there. Once...

YAY! 2U Netra T2000 frontspiece for the 2UBG3 project has been shipped! Next year's Marchintosh project maybe? Building an Acrylic case is right up my alley. Did a lot of Plexi fabrication back in my Manhattan Sign/Display shop days. Sooo much easier than modding an actual 4U Netrat case for a...

That's exactly the spirit, not an error. Share it all where it'll be searchable and remain available well into the future.

Are your files for the external bits scalable and suitable for having them printed in absolutely clear, smooth material at a fab? Backpainting such for a mini DA or Quicksilver would be perfect! With a bit of chrome plating the MDD Current, not ready for prime time insanity would be cramming...

OMFriggin'G! Have you posted a thread about this one?

Bingo! Discord appears to be almost or even more ephemeral than texting: - First: mail correspondence was the thing, with letters from folks like the letters of correspondence here in the U.S. available for centuries alongside letters from the Renaissance and back to the "letters" to the...

Wrapping up for today, I snagged pics from that expensive 1120 unit on the 'Bay, so got details I've not seen before: The hotswap bay in the left pic is new to me. The blank 5.25" bay cover bezel on the right I have. Pic clearly shows the gaps between and around the drive bezels. Definitely...

That is a heck of a lot slower than a 10/100 PDS Card solution would be, no?

Thanks for the likes! Was thinking about this update and figured a custom, laser cut clear plexi cover might be in order. Once I've gotten everything in the drive bays set up just so, back painting one with a complimentary color will look a whole lot better than the OEM unit. It'll hide the...
