Title: Step-by-step: attaching an OSCAR optic board to a Tornado Spinner
Post by: krick on January 16, 2005, 10:39:20 pm

I just put up a web page that shows how I mounted an OSCAR Controls (http://www.oscarcontrols.com/) optic board on my SlikStik Tornado USB spinner (http://www.slikstik.com/spinner.htm) so I could hook it up to my Ultimarc Opti-PAC (http://www.ultimarc.com/optipac1.html).

Step by step pictures here...

Here's a picture of the finished product...

nice mod Krick. I may have to order one of the Oscar optic Board, cause as we know, Slicktick don't work with pure dos, can't use a serial adapter (thats what I use), and can't use Opti-pac.
Thanks for the write-up.

Hi,
I have 2 questions...first, I went to Ultimarc web site..but can't find the optic board..are they still for sell.
Second...I am not familiar with the Slicktick...why change the board, is the Oscar better?  Different?
Anyway, nice job...looks great. ;D
