| Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2023-06-14 04:52:11 I have just discovered something that I would love to have: front-facing ports on my (now) Blue & Silver G3. They should be easy enough to make with a 3D-printer.   The site on archive.org is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/geethree.com | |
| Posted by: jeremywork on 2023-06-14 05:19:22 These are nifty, though a bit peculiar in design. The PCI card which connects to it contains hubs instead of controllers. Busses communicate via external loopback cables from the logic board’s controllers, which I don’t really understand the rationale for. The USB hub is 2.0, so it’s really best used alongside a second PCI USB 2.0 card.  (This particular example needs attention; it produces a USB over current warning on startup. All its front and back ports work but the CF and SD slots don’t.) | |
