No worries m8,
i'm glad i could help, great piece of kit you have there, well done!!!
and this is why i like the amiga community, it's about helping each other out and not trying to fleece one another all the time, this is a good thing me thinks ;o)

I believe Amiga Future is the only paper magazine at this moment. There probably are several digital mags (there is one in Holland - no Amiga-only but Commodore in general)

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

There should be a Commodore mag Im always intrested in new Games for C64 or any of the Retro Commodores also theres some nice hacks been done for C64 Towers E.t.c.

I mean Zetr0 alone all his hardware hacks you could probably make a good book of p0rn
The Big Book Of HardWare Hacks.

Amazing, considering doing it myself.. have you confirmed that it works though or is it only a test fit?

@JimBob005

Quite Clearly

now I think theres a thread on EAB on how to make DF1 a DF0

Its fantastic m8... really really is!!!

I would say 95% of what I would call hardcore hardware hackers probably would not of attempted this, let alone managed to pull it off!!!

Fantastic work m8.... clearly I am speachless

infact so much so I made a new keyboard

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

Well, I've stayed totally off this thread, despite witnessing it's inception.

What can I say.....I am speechless too! :shock:

Just an awesome hack Mr. It's a credit to you!

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

I have to marvel in this thread's total hackeryness... well done James.

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

thanks for the kind works im happy this is all working i dont think i will get much more in side there i would like usb and put the port where the floppy button is but i dont think i will fit any more boards in there.

thanks james

p.s can some one please send me a hi res pic of a normal a600hd with the lid lifted up

 

[cv643d]

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

Haha! I need to do this to one of my A1200 mobos!

You should be able to fit a BPPC/Bvision inside there

Did you solder the wires straight on the fastslot connector on the A1200 motherboard?

 

[jimbob005]

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

yes cv643d straight to the board

 

[Andru]

Re: a1200 in an a600 case

Great work indeed :shock:

Now, I'm in need of an extension cable for the accelerator card, where did you get this extension part?

Is it self made or can you get the connectors from some place?

Would appreciate any pointers 8) Thanks!
