I've never been able to make etcher work.
But also pi 3 is only usb-2 the Pi 3 adapter version of that already is a usb-3 solution. Transferring an image is fasssst. And it started until now all kind of imgs i tried.
PI3-version: The connection between both is only via USB. (small special pcb). And you can connect on the 40 pin two wires to have power via that adapter. Also it is not a must.
Ordered already some of the 4 versions, not having any pi 4 in the moment. Too many projects and rare free time..... ;-(

Likewise. Trying to put new fenner belts in my old sheldon, got it apart and my ticker gave me hell despite a pacemaker.
So I basically laying around till my heart doc gets back, supposedly next week.
Belts complicated by finding someone had sprayed metal on the right end of the upper jackshaft to bring it back to size, and that came loose and demolished itself, and the bearings too so I bought a new shaft and should have its bearings today. But did you ever try to cut woodruff key slots in an Rockwell 60C shaft? Got something usable but it ain't purty.
Tried to EDM it but a carbide tool for the electrode went away lots faster than the slot was burnt. Finally mounted it onto my 6040 mill where I had a rotary table so I could turn the shaft a couple degrees each way to try and grind a slot the same width all the way to the bottom using dremel 3/4" cutoff wheels stacked 4 wide. Slow, and definitely not fun.
The middle key slot is optional as I've already fitted a taperlock in the pulley bore which was wallered out 20 thou oversize two years ago. 70 yo lathe. A pi3b runs it fairly well though
And I am not going to exert myself too much putting it back together until I can do it w/o the angina pain. I don't recommend getting old. Its not for wimps.
Take care now Mike.
