yup the thing runs from 5vdc. The advantage of the termination power is for bus powered operation, for the external scsi port.
if he doesn't have a laptop version of the PCB, he probably will at one point even if he is sure that he won't (now)
Now that he has most of the bugs worked out of the firmware, If he is happy with his new design pcb, and the ability to operate from termination power... he can concentrate on production and sales.
as time goes on he will see the need and make a laptop version… and get on ebay, just as ARTMIX is… right now artmix is the only person selling a CF to SCSI laptop version.
He (mike) thinks they don't sell…(laptop version) but he isn't really known either… i mean business 101 people have to know your product exist's. Consistency is what gets ya… And artmix is consistently on ebay with his ad's up… so even if he doesn't make a sale, Doesn't matter because enough people come across his ad will remember Oh that is where i can go to buy a CF solution for my powerbook when i have more time later in the year or what have you.
You cant not even try and think that is how sales are gonna be.
i think most of his sales are just because of us tailing about it here and on the LEM list etc...
i don't know what code/src google ranking is… or how google searchable he is, when considering a person is looking for a SCSI hard drive for their powerbook.
or ay 2.5mm SCSI2SD solution… maybe that part needs work.
