This has turned out to be a much longer video than I’d anticipated, so to keep you going until the edit is complete, here’s another snippet from the B-roll.
Most of this clip will remain unused (if at all), but it demonstrates the Elecrow mini PC case powered up, fans running, and LEDs cycling through the rainbow.
In case you missed earlier updates on this, the project is to install a Raspberry Pi 5 into a new mini PC case, then install an operating system that boots directly into an MS-DOS environment. This was originally intended to be a bare metal emulator, although some research indicates a lightweight Linux Debian that boots directly into a version of DOSBox might be the better solution.
But that is for a later video… I need to finish this one first!
