I'm interested in an Indivision but removing the diskdrive is not an option. Maybe a flat cable solution is an option ?

If removing the floppy isn't an option for you, why not use a HxC emulator? Most of my machines simply have the floppy cable hanging out of the floppy slot, so that I can plug the emulator in when needed. It saves a lot of hassle. A 2GB SD Card can hold most of what I need.

...Plus you can install in inside with SD card getting out of floppy slot just like the real floppies

Apart from that, you really can't keep the floppy (not even if you hacked a laptop slim one to mount). The height is the issue.
Flat Cable or custom PCB to move Denise socket from the original A603 position could be made, but I seriously doubt if the quality would be okeish due to noise. You can always try it ofc, but then again... where you could put it inside??? Have you seen the room available?

Imho get an HxC SD Floppy Emulator and stick it inside, or jumper ACA and use an external drive as DF0. Slick and nice solutions both

I have managed to do this and I am happily using my A600 + A603 & Indivision ECS with the attached internal floppy. I am not using any flat cables or so, just done some modifications to floppy (part of the metal must be cut) and made a angled riser of Indy ECS to achieve this.
Now waiting to recieve ACA625, than I will make some fotos of everything inside. I think the hack is worth the effort, its not any complex at all.

One quick question that springs to mind...

To disable the card completely and revert back to a standard 68000 A600 you need to position a jumper on the board right?

How do I make that change once the A600 lid is back on?
Can it be disabled through the software or do I need to fit a switch of some kind to the jumper set up...?

Yes please

mfilos · 07 January 2011, 12:37

@Peter
Yep. Attaching a Switch will do just fine. As Jens said though... it's suggested to switch once Amiga is powered off

@amigoun
Share the pr0n mate!!!

I've got a spare switch here mate, yours FOC when we next go for beers

I can't find the pics of how I mounted it right now, but I'll post later.

If the package from Amigakit has about 1.18kg, it awaits me in the post office.

Great. Then the Indivision is an option for me too. Ordering...

I think there is an even easier way to achieve this without cutting or changing anything.

Amigaman · 07 January 2011, 13:36

Its arrived! I now have both my A600 and A1200 cards. Thank you Jens, thank you Amigakit!

No thanks to the delivery company AGAIN! Of all the deliveries I have had since Halloween, only one has left a card saying they were unable to deliver. I have had things left with neighbours, depots, and the post office, but none bother to leave a card to say I have something waiting!!

Anyway, I shall be trying out the great new cards over the weekend. Thank you again.

fitzsteve · 07 January 2011, 13:47

@Peter here is my switch setup, my spare switch is the same type of switch and at the end is a connector that attaches to the jumper pins. Its a simple on/off switch

Could you explain or are you going to test this first ?

Very nice installation... although I would wonder how often you'd be turning the accelerator off once everything is up and running.

Was going to test first, but realised I dont have any 48 pin connectors.
Will have to look into it though, as my idea is simple and clean.

amigoun · 07 January 2011, 16:23

Only putting another sockets under the scandoubler doesnt work here, because it collides with the keyboard and you wont be able to close the cover.
