WARNING: CONTAINS CASE-MODDING, LOOK AWAY IF YOU DO NOT LIKE!

Hey all, as part of constantly modding my 'ultimate short-ST' I wanted to integrate a Gotek. In this I used a Flash floppy drive I bought from Simulant tech (UK) And integrated it with the external ST floppy kit sold by 5voltsupply (USA)

I completely applaud what you've managed to cram into that tiny little casing so far @Steve. :dualthumbup:

Looks good to me @Steve. I'm planning to do something similar but slightly different once I get time

Love it! Can you share a how-to on the RGB to HDMI implementation? Would love to see how you did it. Or point to another thread. I've looked into it a bit and found the github a bit confusing.

It's plug'n'play m8, you can buy yourself a built-up unit, check this reply I posted to microman recently:
