Kevin Karhan :verified:Kinda sad he didn't use 3,5" <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/FDD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FDD</a> for design but basically a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/HuCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HuCard</a> instead...<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=END_PVp3Eds" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=END_PVp3Eds</a>Still cool...<a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NeoFloppy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoFloppy</a> <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a>

Kevin Karhan :verified:Also I'd propably <a href="https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/113302552585445788" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">modify the dimensions and design</a> to not get "legal anger" from Apple and instead allow to fit a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/MiniITX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniITX</a> board or similar inside it...Propably give it a 5,25" bay to allow fitting a BDXL burner and/or trayless SSD front bay(s) or a <a href="https://infosec.space/tags/NeoFloppy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoFloppy</a> drive to it...<ul><li>Actually, just the <a href="https://github.com/KBtechnologies/NeoFloppy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NeoFloppy</a> drive for extra cool factor...</li></ul>
