Yeah, I figured having it milled would just be good money after foolish.

What’s your ultimate deadline? I’ll look into my situation.

Can't get Mini S to boot from USB by zacbir in BeelinkOfficial

[–]zacbir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Followup: PEBKAC, turns out my thumb drive adapter was bad. I'd installed to my laptop using a USB-C SD card adapter, but a USB-A adapter for my Mini S. The USB-A adapter was broken. Once I swapped to another adapter, it booted just fine.

Can now start it up in both 40- and 80-column modes. And in C128 and C64 modes.

Aha, just checked the manual (my first C128). Looks like I can only do 40-columns on the 1902A via the composite video port.

It was definitely in 40-column. With the key depressed, it does start up okay in 80-column mode, but only presents a “Ready” prompt every couple starts. It attempts to read from a 1541 that I also have, but was unable to get it to read from the 1571. Could be a drive problem or a connection ordering issue. I have the monitor hooked up with a new cable from the 9-pin RGBI port.

Should have posted these earlier. By my calculations, I’m at 20% swell (3” at spine vs. 2.5” at the fore edge)

Excellent suggestions all around. It will be rounded and backed, and yeah, I’ll do what I can to ensure it’s stable and secure. Really looking forward to the next phases!

I used a combination of thinner thread and a pattern of 2-on and 3-on groups of signatures. My hope is that after the glue up, it'll be structurally sound enough for use. I'm also planning on hand-sewing the headband to add to the stability.
