Tandy 1400LT upgrade

I was able to pick up another Tandy 1400LT on eBay for a good price.  This one has a much better screen, probably due to the fact it was taken better care of.  The new one came with a home made cover.

The only issue is that the B: drive is a little sticky when removing diskettes from the drive.  Of course, it's a special 26-pin drive connector (thanks Tandy) and replacing the drive is impossible.  Or is it?

Enter the Gotek.  I was able to source a card that will let me connect the 26-pin connector to a standard 34-pin floppy connector with power.

The Gotek arrived today, so I put Flash Floppy on it.  The only problem is that one of the 7-segment displays is missing a few functional segments, but that doesn't hurt anything for what I'm doing.

Now to wait for the other parts and see if this works.

Final truck project - complete

The final truck project (for the year, at least) is complete.

This will be the last one for this year since the weather won't cooperate for painting.

But I no longer have a goal, so unless I get a really good deal on eBay, that will probably be it for a while.
