NAILED IT! Plenty of this out there. What's important to keep in mind also is that there is no high voltage inside the A1200, nothing that these cards normally don't see, and the ribbon wouldn't be travelling over long distance. Nothing more than 8-12 inches at most is needed for flexibility of placement internally. That Picasso II++ could also be redesigned for purpose to be half height for easy fit in the case with the floppy drive retained. Would be lovely to stack flicker fixer capability on that solution for completeness.
The solution would find plenty of users, without doubt.
