Hello Dropcheck

They don't fit in one case, they're just connected together electronically. And the power supply circuits of the XF551 can't reliably feed both drives, so you either need to use a second power supply that only feeds the second drive mech, or come up with an upgrade for the power supply circuits.

I've got the instructions for the DDU in PDF, if you send me a PN with your email address and a short reminder what we are talking about and I'll sent it to you.

Hello Dropcheck

The XF551 can use either the 8040 or the 8050. AFAIK, one of them has extra options that aren't used in the XF551.

BTW if the PCB can be made smaller, there should be enough space for CSS's Dual Drive Upgrades (DDU) electronics. If Bob Puff doesn't allow you to use the code/schematics he used, maybe you could reserve some space for it. So you'ld only have to buy the DDU from CSS, and plug it into the new PCB.

Hello kenjennings

It's sold out and one of the chips needed is no longer available in the required speed, but this is what you are looking for.

Hello Guus

Tell us more about your Flash and Parity upgrade please? Like what's the difference between your version and the versions that are mentioned on my BlackBox page.

Hello WizWor

The Euro to USD rate never was 2:1. At it's highest point, it was slightly over 1,3:1, maybe even 1,4:1, but never higher.
