Colin McMillenWith the extraordinary help of @alexeystar in Serbia and @kf in Estonia, I have managed to find about 300 female connectors in total for the #BurgerDisk / #DominoDisk. These devices are very international, with the PCB from China, male connectors from USA, and female connectors from *checks notes* Serbia, Estonia, Hungary, Lithunia, North Macedonia and Germany.
This should be more than enough so that everyone with an Apple II and a need for a daisy-chainable hard drive can have one!
Two extra good things come with that: First, Alexey is incredible and added things I never tasted before in the package, and a very nice card too, which I'll hang somewhere on the wall near the Apple II as a souvenir of this adventure 😍

Second, the electronics stores are much less greedy than eBay sellers, and were selling their 20-years-old stock at a normal price for a stupid connector instead of 10-20€, so I can now drop 10€ of the price of the #BurgerDisk and #DominoDisk !
(The shop is there and it's live! https://www.colino.net/wordpress/shop/ )

Oh and also, third: Some of you may know that the BurgerDisk's name comes from the fact that it can be part of a *stack* of storage devices. It is also in honor of Burger Becky's memory.
So, it felt right that 10% of all sales benefits go to Clar-T (https://clar-t.org/), our local transgender community association.

I'm sure @burgerbecky would have loved that.
