It occurred to me that with some 3D printed case extensions I might be able to mount a 5.25" and 3.5" drive in the 1541 case. It still uses the metal frame inside which has been modified a bit. The 5.25"-to-3.5" adapter I bought is actually a bit taller than 1-5/8" so I need to mill it down a bit. Ignore the blue painters tape, it is just holding some of the 3D printed parts in place temporarily. I need to adjust the height of the 3D printed parts a bit and print out a new set in something other than black. Or. maybe paint the whole drive black?

Now imagine if the IEC connector on the SCP was working. I could put an IEC DIN socket on the back and use it as a dual 1541/1581 drive possibly? Wouldn't that be fun!

and 2 5.25 inch bays.
The Dat drive occupied 2 bays with its bulk.
I then had to fabricate a back panel to cover the space vacated by the centronics scsi connectors.
This was made in plastic ...and made a suitable mount point for the SCP+ board.
Sadly there is no easy way to mount this as there are no screw holes of mount points.
I settled on trapping it in a heath robinson affair made from pcb slide guides and white plastic fibre board ..
Thus it could now be mounted on the back-plate with the usb socket exposed to the outside.
The 2 drives chosen where a Sony 1.44mb 3.5" (drive 1) and a Teac 1.2mb 5.25" floppy drive (drive 0)
I only really use my SCP+ for archiving so these should do nicely.

So ..already owning a Kroflux unit which was built into a similar but flat case...and now my recently aquired SCP+ board I figure I am now covered for archiving most floppies I encounter.
Thanks Jim.

Here is my SuperCard Pro setup which I am still in the processing of putting together:


  2016-01-30 15.59.41.jpg (Size: 300.43 KB / Downloads: 41)

My setup has the following features:

• 3 bay case with PSU
  
• SuperCard Pro (with 32GB MicroSD card fitted, just in case! )
  
• 64GB of storage via internally fitted USB drive (handy for storing SCP images )
  
• 5.25" floppy disk drive
  
• 3.5" floppy disk drive
  
• Memory card reader
  
• 5x front USB ports (for USB sticks, etc.)
  
• 2x rear USB ports (for connection to PC)
  
• Internal USB hub
  

It will also have an external switch mounted to the rear of the case that will allow me to be able to switch the SuperCard Pro into its programming mode for firmware updates, but unfortunately the supplier sent out the wrong switch type, so this will need to wait.

Kind regards,

Francis]]>

Here's my idea of casing the SuperCard Pro (SCP as I denote on the cover of my case)...

As others have mentioned, bare boards make me nervous too... so I came up with a custom designed 3D printed case for my SuperCard Pro.

I've been designing cases for other Commodore products for a while now, and as I recently purchased this awesome little board, felt it had a dire need for a case.  Here's what I've come up with.

It's a case specifically dedicated to the SCP board itself.  Because the board has no facilities in it's design to be screwed down (no screw holes in the board), I had to come up with a way of holding it firmly inside the case.

My solution was to build a little spider that sits on top of the board, allowing the lid to hold the board in place.  The lid is pretty substantial (I tend to use 4mm thick case lids).  Pretty happy with how it turned out.  As with all my cases, in this application, I used 2M brass heatsets in the case walls, and 2M/6 black oxide screws to hold it together.  There are openings in the sides of the case for the ports, in the lid for the floppy cable, and small openings in the lid to see the LED's blinking away.

Here are some photos of the finished product.  Lemme know what you think of my vision...

Next I think I'm going to come up with a slim 5.25/3.5 combo case where this little case can clip onto to make a compact integrated package. When I get to that point, I'll post some more photos. For the time being, at least I'm happy my SuperCard Pro is safe.

Got one of them little pico power supply's on it that just gets powered by a 12 volt brick. I had to put a little jumper in it's plug to turn on the power to it.

The drive in the back up on it's side looks like a better drive but it just moves the head to the front side of it.

Same goes for the KF board I have... (Appears to be about the same dimensions as SCP? I will know more once my SCP arrives.)

Thanks.]]>
