So my nice yellow A600 arrived
I have made a little start on my next project, mainly at this stage it is testing the kit deciding on exactly how to proceed so I will need some advice from the Guru's
The plan is to paint the A600 Black, replace or paint/stencil the keys, I thought the key fonts stenciled in a paint that will glow in the dark would be pretty cool?
Will be using a 3.1 & 1.3 rom switch and replacing the FDD with a HxC Floppy Emulator, looking forward to playing all those old skool cracked/trained ADF's in 1.3 mode
Looking to mount the HxC and screen as shown in the last pic (inside obviously), there should be space for the screen in this area, the screen its self should sit just below the surface of the plastic so the idea is to cut a hole, neatly and have a purspex veiwing window for the screen.
The SD card will be swapped via the empty floppy drive slow and I will need to make 3 holes in the top case, with some kind of push down button for the switches, I think I should be able to find something useful in Maplins along with the cables to connect the screen.
Also an A608 will be going in when they are ready
Will update this post as the project makes progress...
