If someone can provide the preferred SKU, I can add a card to my next order. Will be on site the 27th and can bring it down, or ship it directly to IA if it's needed sooner Cheers! Martin On 6/11/2026 9:15 PM, Joseph Giliberti via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
It has been down for months, but I'm trying to get it addressed. As it turns out, Primus does not have the images.

Regardless, if I recall correctly, Doug Crawford was under the impression that Ian Primus had the image files.
Thanks, Andrew Mattera

Buy good uSD cards from Mouser. Yes, you'll pay 4x the price, but they won't be fake and won't need replacing every time you turn around. -Dave

Either someone isn’t shutting it down properly or the swap keeps wearing out the cards.. Can we please put a NOS drive like a U320 with an interface adapter or invest in an SLC Industrial SD card for the SCSI2SD so the system doesn’t become a brick every year? I’d consider donating a drive if it’s that much of an issue for the museum to buy one. They are only about 15-20 bucks.. Thanks, Ian L.

The museum's NeXT Cube needs the flash card rewritten so that it boots again. Who was the last person who got this done? Can you please do it again?
