First up, I’ve picked up a second-hand Nintendo 64 power supply rather than a new third-party one. Naturally, I had to pull it apart and see what was inside. Panasonic capacitors! I do like a good Panasonic cap, so no complaints there.

The Dreamcast development box is still waiting for attention too. I’m waiting on a SCSI cable and a SCSI-to-SD adapter so I can get away from that troublesome old hard drive. I’ve also picked up a Sega Katana GD-Writer HKT-0400, with some GD-ROM discs on the way. There’s quite a bit of Dreamcast business piling up around here!

Then there’s my new DS1054 oscilloscope. I’ve calibrated one of the probes and managed to get a lovely square wave on the screen, which is exciting enough for me. Hopefully it’ll be useful when I get back to the Sega TeraDrive power supply. I’ve also got a Dreamcast controller function checker to investigate, and that contains what looks like a Mega Drive motherboard. That’s an interesting little beast!

We’ve got a few videos to crank out this month and I think I may be working on too many projects at once. I guess we’ll find out if I burn out and set fire to all my way past cool hardware!
