BOB for older controller

[derekba...@gmail.com]

Can't find a BOB for the older controller with the single DB25 header.  Any chance you will make these again?  Or is there another BOB available that can work with this controller?

Hi,

   I started making the drive boxes with dual parallel ports on the back a while ago, so let the BOB (that has pass-through) on it run out.  As The new drive boxes don't need the pass-through BOB, I don
't think I will be making more of the pass-through BOB.

  You might want to try something like this:

Using the linked breakout box I'll need to physically wire the pass throughs correct?  Also do I need to filter the break out lines like you had on the older BOB?

thanks

Hi,

  You do not specifically need filters.  They are to help with switch signal bounce, but some of that can be handled through software.

That board should already be pass through.  Just wire your switches or other I/O to that board.

PC --> BOB  --> drives
