Thank you for your contributions to the retro computer community. I have built several of your Pi1541-II units and they are in almost constant use. I was considering modifying the design slightly by using vertical tactile switches with long stems so they can be accessed via matching holes in the top panel.. very much like the Reset switch on your XUM1541-II design. This change would allow you to press the switches on the Pi1541-II and not have the unit move across the desk. I think I might build some Pi154-III units instead! 🙂
In the tech world's nostalgic archives, Floppy drives with their quaint, whirring vibes. With disks that were small, They would waltz, they would crawl, Data danced in their magnetic tribes!
I think that's a great project, especially now that the mechanisms themselves have started to disappear from the markets completely. Think I'd build put direct 1581 replacement into a case, mainly just because there's so much room in them - would be weird, but fun 😅
Me again. Sorry to bug you but this is my first project and I am having problem sourcing oled display, at lease here in NZ. Biggest one I found is 25mm x 20mm but that is too small width wise. Any chance you can post link of your display in video so I know what to look for?
This is the listing from one of my orders, make sure to pick the 4pin version. Colour is more a matter of preference. Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out!

Thanks TEBL! I've built some of your PI-1541 II which are fantastic! Might look at building some of these as well. Thanks again for sharing 👏👏👏

That looks great, I'm hoping to do something similar soon but fitting in a broken 1541and replacing the 5 1/4 drive with the Pi

I just bought kit from PCB Way. For capacitor it only specify 470uf but not voltage. Would capacitor 25v 470uf be sufficient? Many thanks.
That would be fine. It should only see 5v, so 25 would be plenty - it may mean that it's physically larger in size, but would work just the same.
@@TEBLify It is 8mm in diameter, same size as circle on the boar so it will be perfect fit:)
