My WIP A600 mod...

30 March 2008, 20:12

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!!!!)

p3300104.jpg - 0.19MB
p3300105.jpg - 0.21MB
p3300106.jpg - 0.16MB
p3300107.jpg - 0.19MB

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

Jason

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.

@pertinax

!Awesome!

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

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
