SD extension on ZXpand+
Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2024 1:10 pm
Here's a good one.
I'm preparing a zeddy to go into a wooden case, which requires me to extend the ports, etc. to the side of the case.
However, in the case of the SD card, I'm having a minor puzzle.
The longer of the two extenders works, the shorter one comes up with 9/0 all the time. Tried various cards of different speeds and capacities... no joy. I've compared the pin outs and connectivity of the two, and they appear exactly the same.
I just can't work out why the shorter one isn't working... I should have thought it would be the other way around, if anything. If I can solve this, it would mean less cable in the case, but I thought I'd ask for thoughts and opinions before I start cutting and soldering.
