Sorry but your link doesn't work for me.

alexh · 27 January 2009, 16:37

Not sure why you would want to but sure.

You'd need an A1200 KeyRah which converts the A1200 keyboard into a USB type, and then a small (nano or pico) ATX board.

Perhaps an Axiomtek 820

Thank you alex.
Perhaps it could be fun.

Not my cuppa tea

a much better and cheaper (I think) solution might be the dual-core atom mobo from intel, D945GCLF2 , that is mITX sized (17x17cm)

http://www.intel.com/products/deskto...2-overview.htm

it costs 80eur in Greece

I paste it again, just in case, but the link was correct, it seems like the server went down, it worked a while back, just before i post it...

Maybe later...
Zetr0 also found a x86 MB suitable be placed inside the A1200, he took pictures of the entire process, from the A1200 case transformation to the hardware parts needed to assemble it. Awsome piece of work..."Indeed"!

Put a PC board into the Atari ST case and run WinUAE in it and you will get the most disgusting hybrid in the world

or get a msi wind net book and put that in, would get an lcd screen as well then
I`ve got an advent 4489 net book from pc world, which is and msi wind clone and just mesured it up against the a1200 and theres plenty of room

OT:
I love this netbook, best thing I`ve bought in ages it makes a great inano hackintosh

TCD · 27 January 2009, 18:56

Huh?

Why do you want to do that turrican3? Oh, guess you want to run WinUAE (and only WinUAE

) on it, right?

Charlie · 27 January 2009, 19:26

Where's Zetr0?

Yoto · 27 January 2009, 20:02

Zetr0´s MB as posted by him in the x86 project:

Ps: The link seems to be working again!

You can see from the photo it is too big for an A1200 case! Look at the height of the fans and the double height connectors.

alphonsus · 27 January 2009, 21:22

Or you could try a NANO-LUKE-1G-R10 from EPIC.
16.5 x 11.5 x 4.5 cm
VGA/LCD, 6x serial, 2x sata, Gb ethernet, 8x USB2, 44pin IDE, parallel.
CF slot for flash disk (master/slave setup so assume can boot from it)
Takes 1Gb sodimm ddr ram, runs at 1GHz, uses 1.3Amps a 12V.
Has a PC104 and PC104+ connector (ISA and PCI expansion without backplane)

And there's a guy on ebay selling them at 30 quid each.

You could probably fit one plus an A600 motherboard in the same A1200 case!?

Predseda · 27 January 2009, 21:48

Turrican3: I hope after you installed the PC board to the A1200 case, you will donate the original board to me, then

turrican3 · 29 January 2009, 00:52

what do you think about this one : Nvidia Ion http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3478

turrican3 · 29 January 2009, 01:15

Finally i don't know if i would like to put this mb in an a1200 perhaps just keep it in its original box and launch winuae at boot. Like a powerfull minimig.I have just to stick an amiga logo on it.
