Updating for the sake of updating.
Well folks, all's still quiet over here. Not much been going on.
Other day at work i got to rewire an old 300 Watt AT style power supply for use in one of the simulators. had to chop off all the power connecors and affix new pins and mount them into a new, specially made 20 pin molex connector. Those PSU's go under the hood and power the dashboard and the encoders for the pedals/gearshift. As it turned out, the brand new PS's -12V wire only put out -4.5V, not enough to make things function right. And since that was the only PS we had at the store, i had to wait till we got another shipped from a different store (in this case, Charlotte, NC) before the car would run right. Since it was the #6 car with Viagra as the sponsor, jokes were made about it needing more Viagra to get it up (and functional, that is.)
One day when my connection gets better, i shall post the Pics from the Boxheads LAN party in Kzoo 2 weeks ago.
that is all.
take care, whoever may read this...
