Hmm you've got me worried now. I was about to order a long, three foot 50 pin cable from Amazon so I could snake it out the computer and plug in drives without having to open the case. Maybe I need to look at other options.
I may be incorrect but I remember reading somewhere that 7100 and 8100 systems need to have a card in the PDS slot otherwise the computer may not boot or can crash.
I'm also a backer. Kicking myself for not getting in on the Apple II Kickstarters when they were active. As with everyone else, I hope the stretch goal is met otherwise the clear keys on my brand spankin' new keyboard will look a little out of place!
If anyone comes across my previous post some time in the future, don't sweat the patch! splorp is spot on, no issues with the 40hz.org patch on my eMate. Cheers!
I'm happy to see a report of the patch working correctly. The warnings on the installation instruction page at 40hz that there is a potential to brick the eMate has made me leery of installing the patch on mine.
