Mini laptop + weird Windows activation + Ubuntu dual boot plan = first make a full Clonezilla backup. I documented the whole step-by-step process here: https://ezcontents.org/backing-mini-laptop-clonezilla-installing-ubuntu #Ubuntu #Clonezilla #DualBoot #Windows11

I’ve taken a simple slot machine keychain and leveled it up with electronic parts.

I have made this small slot machine.
Project update: The Arduino code for my tiny fruit machine seems to be working.
Playing around with the Seeed XIAO RA4M1 (which is actually the same as an Arduino R4) to get it working with an SPI display and some other external devices for my next project.
I have made a new video about SDrive-MAX floppy disk emulator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq3ST6-dB88
How to build SDrive-MAX floppy disk emulator for Atari 8-bit computers

Copying physical disks to SDrive-MAX drives is working.
One thing is for sure. I will never change another ear pad on any headphones anymore! 😱
I'm a bit disappointed with the transfer speeds of this configuration. According to all specs it should be around 5000MB/s, but it is much less. If you compare the speeds of the internal Mac Mini M4 storage in the last picture they are way faster than the Thunderbolt 4.
I thought that it was finally time to finish the Atari SDrive-MAX project.
