Nice. What are the differences between a v4 and v4.1? (Ah I can see it mainly involves power and not features)

Is there a way to connect this internally into a PC? The headers appear to be for programming rather than USB interface?

Interesting question... I thought the software that uses it needs USB, so I would think not.

For USB you could just run the USB cord from the back of the PC and then back inside the PC.
Or many PCs have USB headers on their motherboards, so you could just go from the Greaseweazle USB to an open USB motherboard header if you have one...

That said, if the software just uses the USB as a serial port and using the header is an option (which I doubt, but), then in theory you could do that, but you'd have the same situation. You'd need a serial port on your PC (or a serial port header), which are much less common than USB ports/headers nowadays...

Yes a USB motherboard header to a GW header. Then have it connected to a floppy drive on the case.

I want to have:
1 x Floppy drive (standard)
1 x Greaseweazle
1 x Drawbridge

I can't say it will work but i also can't see any reason why it wouldn't but maybe something like this USB C to internal 9 pin header cable could work.

Plug the header onto the motherboard usb header and then plug the USB C end into the greaseweasle. You would then just need to secure the board inside the case and connect it to up to a floppy drive.
