Make: Online : USB Flash Cassette Mod

USB Flash Cassette Mod

9097313 74A46Efeae T Neat photoset found on Flickr. After a crack appeared inthe case of my Sony MicroVault and it spilled all over the floor. I decided to mod it up, and spent a while looking for something cool. I found this cassette, and this is the result. B Side looks awesome. All in all, 2 hours of work and thinking, for a very simple, but I think rather cool mod for my old usb stick. Might be a fun project to add an iPod Shuffle to a tape adaptor. Link.

Interesting, but why would you want to house it in such a huge case? It seems to make the whole thing kind of impractical to use.

@Brk- That's basically what mods are... turning something useful into something impractical

-Well anyways I've been wanting to do something like this along with a ton of other mods and i think this just gave me the guts to do them !!! ;)
