We swapped back to the original mobo, one we knew worked with 64HDD.
Here you see the 1571 wire mod installed as a first test. Love it when a plan comes together.
A closer look.
Side view.
New projects: These connectors aren't needed for mobo. I'll take the connectors off these power wires will serve units that need a custom connection created for them.
Another project is to complete the wiring for the 1541 II and it's PCB. Connect the LED from the drive face to the PCB.
I'm well into the wiring part of this mod; then the paint/bling phase. Last step is the testing stage.
