FOr his NIC 11:47:41 PM: redrumloa: Aaah 11:47:43 PM: _brain_: I made the board fit that case as well. 11:47:57 PM: _brain_: So, $2.75 is a good deal. 11:48:13 PM: _brain_: But, I think they want clear. 11:48:16 PM: redrumloa: I got a special deal on solid blue 11:48:21 PM: _brain_: Chat with Dragos. 11:48:26 PM: redrumloa: Sure thing 11:49:00 PM: _brain_: I told him they need to buy cases by May 10 or so, so they have enough time to mod them for the boards. 11:50:17 PM: Snogpitch: Probably can start with a smaller quantity like 50 or so and a few weeks later the rest of the lot 11:50:20 PM: redrumloa: I currently have 55 blue cases in stock, i can get more 11:50:45 PM: redrumloa: I don't know if clear cases will be ready by May 10 11:51:13 PM: Snogpitch: you can still see thru the blue ones? 11:51:13 PM: sjones: I did the pre order on the nic as well 11:51:40 PM: redrumloa: No, these are solid blue and not blue transparent 11:51:45 PM: Snogpitch: oh, ok 11:52:06 PM: Snogpitch: I was thinking you meant solid versus a swirl pattern of sorts. 11:52:21 PM: redrumloa: All transparent cases are sold out atm even with the manufacturer (Individual Omputers), only solid blue available 11:52:42 PM: redrumloa: Omputers= Computers ;-) 11:53:34 PM: Snogpitch: are there activity lights on the ethernet connector? 11:53:43 PM: geneb: will those cart cases fit the EZ-232 and Link232 carts? 11:55:08 PM: redrumloa: Geneb: I don't have those here to check 11:55:16 PM: geneb: ok, thanks. 11:55:18 PM: redrumloa: These are standard cart sizes 11:56:10 PM: Wildstar: What's up Jim Brain 11:56:28 PM: _brain_: EZ232 is a user port design, so it does not fit a case. 11:56:30 PM: Wildstar: Hello jackleg if you're at the kb 11:56:50 PM: _brain_: Link232 was designed for the Solakian Case, but I am considering redoing it, since the Solakian Case is no more. 11:56:54 PM: sjones: hey wildstar, long time 11:57:03 PM: Wildstar: hello sjones 11:57:16 PM: Wildstar: Been awhile 11:58:10 PM: sjones: Yeah, Jim's uIEC got my interest 11:58:22 PM: Wildstar: It gots mine 11:59:28 PM: Wildstar: Let me understand this correctly, Jim Brain, the uIEC plugs into the Serial Port. What was that thing that had to do with User Port 11:59:51 PM: sjones: I think it uses the user port for power on systems that can provide it 12:00:30 AM: Wildstar: rephrase that. Not understanding it how written 12:00:53 AM: _brain_: The EZ232 design plugs into the user port. 12:01:12 AM: _brain_: The uIEC does have a small connector that fits in the "cassette" port. 12:01:16 AM: _brain_: Maybe that's what you meant. 12:01:22 AM: Wildstar: Yes 12:01:24 AM: _brain_: It pulls power from the cassette port. 12:01:32 AM: Wildstar: Ok. 12:01:37 AM: _brain_: Cheaper than shipping a wall wart 12:02:02 AM: Wildstar: Ok, I can also add one if I wanted. 12:02:07 AM: _brain_: sure 12:02:25 AM: sjones: So for folks with the SX-64 you provide a power jack and we just supply the ... supply? (+5v?) 12:02:33 AM: tone007: battery powered is cool. ultimate portability! 12:03:05 AM: _brain_: I supply a cassette adapter, as I don't know what people will do with it. If you ask specific with the order, I'll swap for a Joystick connector. 12:03:44 AM: Snogpitch: Does the joystick connector have a passthru if you need to connect joysticks? 12:04:06 AM: Wildstar: I'd might have some sort of swappable heads or something like that. 12:04:28 AM: _brain_: Snoggie, for $15.00 more it does :-) 12:06:02 AM: Snogpitch: Well, time for me to mosey along 12:06:08 AM: Snogpitch: Got a busy day tommorrow 12:06:10 AM: Snogpitch: niters 12:06:10 AM: _brain_: k, cya 12:06:12 AM: Wildstar: So Jim Brain, even with JiffyDOS (and Chameleon) it would still run as it doesn't use any of the Casette Port data lines, am I correct to assume this? 12:06:29 AM: _brain_: correct. 12:06:39 AM: Q-Link: Left QRoom: Snogpitch 12:06:40 AM: *** Q-Link has left channel #c64friends (Try QuantumLink RELOADED!)
