The OtterX is up and running. In case you’re wondering what this is, it’s a Commander X16 computer in a Mini-ITX form factor.

Hmmm. I'm considering building a riser for the #OtterX to make the expansion slot usable in this ITX case.
Two problems though:
1. Is there ANY standard regarding riser cards for these compact cases?
2. Is there any available #CommanderX16 expansion card around? Whatever is on texelec is out of stock, beside, I wonder if there is anything open hardware for this machine...

I could tackle 1 by making a "flexible" riser, with two hard PCBs connected by flat cables. As for 2... Makes me wonder if this is worth the effort at all.

Finally encased the #OtterX, a #CommanderX16 clone.
I took the time to upgrade both this and the original X16 to R48.

I'll plug the PSU hole once I get the covers from JLCPCB.

Received (and built) my prototype RAM expansion for the #OtterX, to bring it on par with the #CommanderX16.
It works!

Today's build, the #otterx ! Spot the very stupid mistake I did that prevented the board from booting :) (no, it's not that the Vera module is missing)
