Hello all, I am back (hopefully) :-) I was hit rather hard from a nice combination of hard disk crashes and the Klez (while I was in the process of rebuilding my PC didn't have my AVG anti-virus on - Thank God I got it on time and disabled my Internet access ;-) ) virus from the list. I have a couple of nice things going on, namely re-housing my Aurora in a BookPC case (It's coming out rather nicely) and since I did all the work on attaching only PS/2 ports on the superHermes instead of the serial mouse port (works only with ps/2-serial combo mice) and regular DIN port for the keyboard, I was wondering if anybody would be interested in seeing the project illustrated by stages either on QL today or the web.
Pertaining to that project and regarding the Rom adaptor of the Aurora, I have a couple of questions to all you hardware gurus out there: 1. What is the maximum effective length of cable one can make to connect a rom (or romdisq more specifically) to the Aurora? I am planning on putting a port on the back of the case to plug in QL roms (and my romdisq) and I want to avoid any data corruption 2. Is there a (simple) hardware (by means of a small led activating circuit) way of adding an activity monitor on the rom port with the Aurora (or QL)? (Kinda like the light the romdisq has on it, Since I will be plugging it in the back of the case, I will have no sure way of knowing if data is being exchanged between the QL/Aurora and the RomDisq, short of attaching a cable with led on the romdisq and I wanna keep the thing as "clean" as possible!)
