TJBChris | Part III - Making A TRS-80 Model 12 Seven-Slot Card Cage @TJBChris | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Part three in my quest to create a card cage for my TRS-80 Model 12. After some project updates, I test out the revisions I made as a result of my last video. I cover those revisions in detail. Afterward, there's some news regarding the chassis project and the possibility of a new backplane.
