[PhilC]

Just starting to get a few of the bits and pieces organised and then made a start with the build.

D sockets to do next and then it'll be up to @gebes what other options he would like installed.

Thank you so much for taking this on for me :D I intend on using it with my BENQ monitor and the eventual plan is while it's being worked on , to add in an X2 midi module , and a TF card.

I'm looking forward to seeing the progress , but can not stress it enough, there's no rush at all :D

:excited: :excited: :excited: We need more H5's out in the wild!

Just curious to see if it's possible.. I have an external ultrasatan that is powered from a 3 port USB adapter plugged into the cartridge port. Is it possible to draw power from the H5 itself to power a usb connection so that the cartridge port can be freed up?

There are holes for a DC jack on the rear for exactly that purpose, but you will have to solder a chassis mount socket as , as usual, the Eagle libs don't fit the jacks I got :roll:

@exxos thanks for the reply

@PhilC could you please look into adding this to the build ?

Audio fix to do, floppy GAL to program and clock battery holder to buy.

:bravo: - another H5 lives.

That is absolutely amazing to see , a new system born :D

I would very much like having a dual TOS setup, to have Emutos and TOS 2.06 please. So please do factor in a TOS decoder board, and a small toggle switch would be great

I'd like to add in the X2 midi board or X2GS from serdashop to this, So I can look to see if I can order it and get it sent straight to you if possible.

I saw this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4254644 on thingiverse for the gotek to relocate the display, ideally I'd just like something that can be secured to the case to minimize cutting the case itself where possible.

Apart from a TF card, I'm honestly not sure what else would be good to fit under the hood, so any suggestions would be appreciated
