IIRC it's the french version of a megabyte, can't remember what the exact word was.

@Moxi: That. Is. Awesome. I'm gonna have to get myself some resin and some RTV silicon...

AFAIK, the O stands for Octets, which is one byte (8 bits) in french.

hi, i am a new user, i decided to build a simple sidBox to go alongside my x0xb0x.

at the moment sourcing what i need, and looking for a datawheel i found this thread, but i appear to have problems seeing some of the pictures...

so i was wondering if the datawheels have been made already? as i would be interested to buy one if it is possible.

thank you. :)

i think you can use an encoder of an old mouse.

you will find the pic of the caps here:

for the caps, I'm no more abble to provide the tact switch, but you can use the ones you want, they just need to be as large as possible.

for the datawheel, I do not success, but if you want only one, you can try to mold it yourself using this product:

cheers :)
