I do recall discussion of manufacturing new hubs but not the outcome. I
imagine that someone with access to a lathe and mill would be able to
make new hubs with good enough tolerances.
Is there some caveat to doing this (besides finding someone with a lathe
and mill?)
/P
It seems to me that one possible solution would
be to whip up a PLL in a
CPLD or FPGA to generate 12 sector timing from a 16 sector pack or vice
versa.
This is one of the recurring conversations here - 12-sector packs are
abundant compared to 16-sector packs, and the only difference is the
slits in the hub and the consequent formatting on the matching
controller...
