My WIP A600 mod...

[pertinax]

Hello All,

Just a few pics of my WIP A600 mod (it's my first one, although I've brought two spare 600 mb's just in case I catch the bug lol)...

Hope these work: (Fixed the original links... SORRY!!!!)

Just got the installation of the storage (ide and compact flash), a few necessary ports (joy/mouse etc) and the general cosmetics to sort now.

But it all seems to work so far... :)

Thanks, look forward to any comments :)

Looking good, do you have any plans to connect the 23 pin video to the unused scart socket on the back? That would be a cool mod to do, then you only need a scart lead to connect to the TV.

Certainly do sir :) That way I can connect it to any tv... or if needs be use the composite output - reminds me, must build that CDDA/Amiga audio mixer too :)

:bowdown :bowdown :bowdown :bowdown


see now thats the kind of modding I am talking about!!!!

looking great!!

have you got a colour scheme in mind or sticking with the black ?

currently I am trying to score a htpc chassis from a m8 of mine... I will be doing an A1200 version of what mischief you are upto :D

That certainly looks cool man :great, what is the case from?

I love the A600 desktop box idea myself...I've also built one...but not hijacking your thread...I wunna' know more about yours :)

Also, what information does the LCD screen display?

@Zetr0

Probably going to stick with the black, hides a multitude of sins :) Would've gone for using a 1200 myself but wanted to try and avoid the external PSU... its kind of worked so far...

@Fingerlickin_B

The LCD only does the basic LCDaemon info at the moment, and a few lcdecho lines at relevant "showy" points of boot and other activity... need to get my head around Arexx again (its been a LOOOOONG time) and sort some software co-operation :) Its a case from an old DVD player btw
