ohh, shiny :open_mouth:

sounds good, keep up the good work :smiley:

102

My shiny new Phylon 7F2WE-2G board will be here Tuesday! I’ll be sure to take a slew of pictures of the process of putting everything together to finish the project!

103

So what exactly is the difference with a Normal mouse and a SNES mouse?

104

It looks cooler :unamused:

105

Well yea,i guess it dosn’t look like the average Mouse :laughing:

106

Well, do you mean just looks, or functionality? :wink: The original SNES mouse was a ball-mouse, and obviously had a SNES-port plug. Now that I’ve modded it, my SNES mouse is USB and optical.

So why did I decide to mod the SNES mouse to work with the SNES computer? Just for looks. It’s a fully-functional USB optical mouse that matches the SNES case. :laughing:

107

OOooh :laughing:

108

I just received my Phylon 7F2WE-2G board - I’ll try to get the whole thing up and running tonight. Hopefully I’ll have pictures up in my gallery tomorrow. :slight_smile:

109

I am getting a “Not Found” on that URL now. I wanted to take a look at this board.

Odd. Maybe I bought the last of the Phylon boards…? This seems to be the same board, just labeled Jetway instead. Specs seem the same as far as I remember.

Got an answer from the folks at LogicSupply on the Phylon/Jetway mystery:

Unfortunately, now that I have the new board, I realize that I didn’t read the specs well enough, and have to order a new memory stick. The previous board I had was a 184-pin, but the new board requires 240-pin. Another delay, but I’m not too worried about it. I’ll get pictures up when I can.

112

Alright, one more memory-setback has surfaced. I’ve scoured the documentation, but I see nothing about memory stick voltage. Anyone know what voltage memory stick I should get? The last board I bought had very specific documentation about the memory stick, but this one’s a bit more vague. The only information I have is this:

o 1 DDR2 400/533 DIMM
o Up to 1GB memory size

On newegg, there are a lot of DDR2, 533, 1GB sticks for 1.8v, and only a handful of the other available voltages.

I emailed the LogicSupply folks about the voltage issue, linking to this Kingston memory stick, and got the following reply:

That’s… not quite the most helpful response. Also, I’ve always heard good things about the Kingston brand… Help, please? :laughing:

113

I’m sure that all DDR2 Memory has the same voltage,Why wouldn’t it?

114

:laughing: I’m sure that you’re wrong, although I don’t know why there are different voltages. Take a look at the “Guided Search” box on the left side of this page.

Select 1GB, 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM, and one of the DDR2 533. At the bottom you can select one of a number of voltages.

By the way, anyone know what the difference is between DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) and DDR2 533 (PC2 4300)?

115

Hear,i found one,
and its a lot cheaper too.

Do you think that would work?

116

All DDR2 is not created equal, unfortunately. The newer memory will probably be in the 1.8V range, but some can be 2.0V. I think there was even a 3.3V variation for certain older memories. It really complicated buying memory these days because you have to know more about your particular system board. Memory is typically not very tolerant of voltages outside its rated specification.

117

Well, i think 1.8 is the most common
but thats just my $0.02 :wink:

118

Did you Figure it out yet?

119

I’ve sent an email to LogicSupply’s tech support, but have not yet received a reply. I’m getting a bit frustrated with their tech support, frankly.

120

You should buy 1.8V ect. and see witch one works,and send back the on e that dosn’t work.
