[Gc-linux-devel] Necessary gc Linux hardware

[Shaun J. <sja...@gm...>]

This mail is somewhat off-topic for this list. If there is a
gc-linux-user mailing list, or any other list you can point me to,
please do.

I'd love to try out the GameCube Linux project. I've been looking for
an SD card adapter and a VGA cable, but these items seem to run about
$50 US each, plus shipping plus taxes, which is a bit out of my price
range. Does anyone know where I can find schematics for the VGA cable
and how difficult it would be to build? Do you know of any retail
outlets in or around Vancouver, Canada / Bellingham, Washington I
could buy the SD card adapter?

Please cc me in your reply. Thanks,
Shaun

Bought an SD adapter from Lik-Sang this morning for $30 plus $5 
shipping.

And they are actually quite easy to make.  Assuming you have an old GC 
memory card you don't need anymore, and a Dremel, the SD connector is 
about $1.50 from Digi-Key.  I have not yet figured out, though, how to 
remount everything after amputating the memory chip from the GC card, 
which is why I bought one (since it's going to be probably a month 
before I have a couple hours to play with this on a weekend and build 
something that resists the mechanical strain of card insertion and 
insertion into the GC.

Dunno about the VGA cable piece though.

See my sd-card kernel driver source for schematics for the SD card: 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gc-linux/linux/drivers/block/gcn-s
d.c?view=markup

Driver is quite alpha though, Screeam|CT promised to fix it up a little
bit since my kernel programming is not that good ;)
