busboard woes

[Eco]

I built a custom power connector for the Micronik A1200 busboard from two old AT power connectors (you know, the six pin kind). It appears that they can be cut down to the desired length with a sharp knife, and they fit snugly in the connector both ways. You'll have a two-part connector but who cares..

Also, I have some good news for anyone building this connector. Plugging it the wrong way does not seem to damage your setup (it just won't boot). Yeah, I tried it  :-D

Hey, my Micronik Z2 is rev 4.15 and it does not work when my BPPC is attached. I bought an X-surf 2 and now I can't use it with my BPPC unless I replace my zorro board.. what a bummer. I contacted Jens Schoenfeld about this, and he immediately fingered my Craptronik Z2 busboard as the culprit  :-)

It would be really cool to know what the fix for the board was. Who was the local dealer who operated on the board? Are they still in business?

Like Fry said in Futurama... "Fixit fixit fixit fixit! Fixit fixit fixit fixit!"

Well, that or someone sells me a more compatible busboard. You know you want to.
