I put a 12V switcher I got at Dayton for about $5 in an ancient and long empty external 400K Mac drive case (belonged to my mother when the drive inside died over 12 years ago) and wired it up to a C-64 drive cable half I got from the thrift store (someone spliced their own extension cable in the middle by twisting the wires and encasing it all in PVC tape :-P ) Worked the first time. So now I'll have an flat-screen terminal powered by a PSU in a Mac drive case, talking to a portable PDP-8 in an Amiga drive case. Guess I should post some pictures of that. :-) -ethan
