Adding some interesting new features to OpenSuperClone. The program will soon support serial commands both through the UI and script engine
with any UART adapter. I've added some scripts for Seagate F3 drives (some obviously quite dangerous).

Also in the process of building some companion hardware that combines relays, current monitoriong (and overcurrent protection), and an integrated
serial port. Hardware is proprietary but the software implementation is obviously open source so people will be able to build their own (if they want to
waste as much time on this as I have).

Yes, I'm working on a little kit consisting of the main power cycling board, an expansion card for M.2 drives (working on native NVMe support in OSC aswell),
and H10/H20 adapter for Optane drives.

USB or SATA - SATA current monitoring with decent software alone is something I know would be very useful as an addition to the versions of pc3000 without it. Would be even nicer if it was also usb.

If I understand correctly, Deepspar's USB Stabilizer can implement a "soft" reset by interrupting the USB data lines in USB storage devices. Perhaps you might consider adding a differential switch or a USB redriver?

On the SATA side ...

It's certainly something to think about; I must admit I hadn't thought about just disrupting the data lines
and I don't even know how most USB devices react to that / whether that would actually make much of
a difference for most SATA attached storage.

I'd love some more info on that.

"Using a differential switch to control $D+/D-$, followed by a $V_{BUS}$ power switch controlled via a script inside OpenSuperClone, will give you a result very close to how professional DeepSpar devices operate in a Linux environment."
