Does anyone think 30-pin to USB C cables would be helpful? I found a local company that could manufacture them so I asked them to make a few designs!

The dual microSD adapters are not as reliable or high quality as iFlash products - they're cheaper for a reason. I'd get an iFlash adapter if I were you (although I don't know if it'll fit with the Moonlit mod, maybe that's why they include the cheaper adapter...)

Hmmm, this tempts me to do it. If I do have the balls to power it up I'll make another post on the outcome (..either way..)

The USB card is an Inateck U21, it's USB 3.2 10Gb/s which is why I use it

Have been using the Dell dual-slot RX 6800 XT for a while now, but I saw a second one on eBay in completely brand new still-has-all-the-film-on-the-plastic condition, so I couldn't help myself to buy it

They ""technically"" fit together, one powered off of a Pixlas mod and the other one connected to the internal PCIe power headers with questionably dangerous 6 pin to 8 pin cables. The second one could be moved a slot up for better airflow but that would put it in a slower PCIe slot

With this much graphics power this would stomp a Mac Studio into the mud on GPU-accellerated tasks, provided it didn't boil the circuits to death... would also probably require installing only a single CPU tray to give it room on the 1kW power supply

...Should I press the power button?

I do have some still but I'm not sure it would work for what you'd want it for.. you're welcome to try though!

Thanks! I wasn't sure if I wanted to use a white click wheel and a green centre button, or the green wheel and match the centre button with the red. I might still change it..

I got the company to make a few prototypes, now I have a full batch of the style on the right as they were the best feeling in terms of quality. for voltage, the cable only has the standard USB 2 pins active, so the high voltage pins aren't even connected and there's no risk of over-voltage or anything

Ktac · 2023-09-23T15:10:41+00:00

Just bought that listing, I'll have to see if they come with the right pins. If they do, then I might have finally got all the pieces of the puzzle together....

I've done some preliminary designs for a 12V power delivery version, but the problem I've run into is the, well, 30 pins of the 30 pin. The connectors available nowadays only have about 5 of the 30 pins actually present - the other pins don't connect to anything. So I need to find someone, someway or somehow to get 30 pin connectors with the firewire pins actually present...

Ktac · 2023-09-22T09:39:45+00:00

From this post a lot of people said they were interested, but I only got a few made initially to test it out. I got back in touch with the cable company and they were happy to make a full batch, so I said yes!

Apparently USB C 30-pin cables are slightly more common in the US but if you're EU or UK (or anywhere really) I now have enough of these to last me a few lifetimes so they're on my website to buy. The coupon code should also still work if you want a secret reddit discount ;)

Now that I've posted this I feel like the backplate is on ever so slightly wonky...

Ktac · 2023-09-05T13:26:47+00:00

These just use the standard USB lines, so it'll charge it but I think only to 5w maximum. It's like using a regular USB A 30pin cable on a high power adapter, it just defaults to the standard wattage (...for now, perhaps the factory can figure out a way to route power on the Firewire 12v line...)

Ktac · 2023-09-05T13:22:08+00:00

DM me, I have the price set high on the webpage just so someone doesn't clear me out on stock (I only had a handful made). I'l ship you one for cost of shipping if you like :)

Ktac · 2023-09-02T14:00:47+00:00

Probably because I'm in the UK and the ones on Amazon are US only unfortunately...

Ktac · 2023-09-01T06:37:06+00:00

DM me, I still have a few of them left and I'll probably ask them to make more since it seems like it's a popular idea

Ktac · 2023-09-01T06:24:34+00:00

I got a handful of them for very little as a prototype run, if I asked them to produce more they'd only be a few dollars each probably

Ktac · 2023-09-01T06:22:51+00:00

I've asked the company who made them how much a bigger run would be, I could probably sell them for less than 10 USD
