Deneb Flashdrive booters... LED Activity Light?
« on: March 27, 2009, 11:14:46 PM »
Am now SCSI HD free and booting off a Flashdrive via Deneb is very slick (as another user or two has verbalised). But what are we to do with the HD activity light? In my case, an A2500... there is no obvious LED jumper on Deneb, so is there an alternative? I love using a thumbdrive internally instead of a real HD, but miss the flicker of the LED   :-)

Yeah, all of my thumbdrives have an LED, so I may just end up prying one open and soldering a couple of leads to it.

BTW: anyone notice the two 'ground' holes of their internal USB port on Deneb is not soldered to the port? Doesn't seem to affect performance, just a curiosity. The port itself (I'm talking about the one directly mounted to the card) could stand to be more secure.

Thanks for the input and feedback Chris. Nothing like a quick solder job at the breakfast table to get the day started  :-)  She's all soldered up and rock solid now. Oh, and FYI: I've got a hand written serial number of 0740 on my card...
