** So far the method of cutting the adapter board to 'clear' the touch pad seems to 'work', but cable ties and or tape are needed to secure the module to the adapter ?
So a few questions to clarify:
1. Is there a completed solution for the adapter/trackpad interference problem available yet and if so is it shipping yet and if not when will it ship?
2. What does the "fixed" adapter kit look like? Photos?
3. Others have asked but will ask again:
Has any one found a source for other non-Pine NVMe compatible adapters with cable that could plausibly be made to work? This would sure be useful for those that are faced with extended wait times due to possibly protracted order fulfillment and slow international shipping from Hong Kong.
I have exactly the same questions. It's not clear as I write this (14 December) whether revised adapter hardware has started shipping, how this hardware differs from previous versions and what users can expect when it is delivered. Please, some *photos* would be great.
The initial SSD adapter is a disappointing peripheral for the following reasons:
- No installation instructions. Yes, I know the PBP is aimed at developers and technical hobbyists but not everyone has electronics experience;
- Adapter dimensions (early batch) does not match the final design of the PBP creating problems with the trackpad;
- Silver screw intended to secure the SSD in place is not long enough to allow the thread to penetrate both the standoff and SSD.
Can we please get an update on this from Pine64?
Thanks to everyone who is working on this problem.
