Hard Disk Surgery
« on: May 29, 2006, 05:54:49 pm »
After I had all the fun of figuring out the insides of my SL-C3000, I feel ready to replace the hard disk when it comes in the mail later this week ... I bought a Seagate ST68022CF, and figure I will take the prently installed 4Gb Hitachi Microdrive and stick it in the external slot .... but that's not the reason for this mail, it's because I was wondering, if I unlimbered my trustry Dremel tool, and when to the trouble of constructing a CF extender header (about a bit less than I cm. length, I figure) then wouldn't it be possible to turn that internal CF slot into an external slot?  Now that I'm so good at opening up my Spitz, it's a bit less worth it, but still, opening it up really is a bit risky, a bunch of different things could go wrong, and having it available as an external would be really nice.

Would even make a very nice project to disseminate here, wouldn't it?  What do you think, those of you who've opened yours up, it would work, wouldn't it?

It has been done. There is a link somewhere on here to a Japanese site that shows it.
