After figuring out how to get Amazon to show me everything being sold on the Amazon Marketplace by Perkins, I found that they offer a Belkin USB extension cable. Given the context, I'm assuming this particular cable either lacks the usual guard on the female end, has a guard thin enough to fit the gap around the cartridge's male connector, or has been modified by Perkins to remove the guard. In any event, I've ordered one of these cables(at worst, I'm out five dollars and have another spare cable in my box of cables). And yeah, paying closer attention, Amazon gives a back-in-stock date of November 1st for the 16GB carts. Interesting to hear that the player runs on Linux and has gone so long without a firmware upgrade. Feels like forever ago that Linux 3.0 came out and that anything using a 2.x kernel should be in a museum rather than on production machines(even if the machines in question are players designed for a very specific format and were produced as a replacement for older tech that was more than a decade overdue for replacement(though, considering that NLS format cassettes could fit up to 8 hours compared with CD's 80 minutes, I can see why they stuck with cassettes long after everyone else abandoned them). -- Sincerely, Jeffery Wright President Emeritus, Nu Nu Chapter, Phi Theta Kappa.
