Thanks all Shucks Zetr0 @FOL Currently using a Squirrell SCSI with this A1200 but I have a 4 way IDE interface & a slimline CD which I am pondering on installing, I want to see how stable it all is for a while regarding the Indivision as I think I need to secure it to LISA a lot better than just clipping it on. Any Ideas guys.........Apart from Hot Glue??? TC |

Okay, TC!
Very nice modding there old chap. Hmmm, sticky goop but not too sticky... ...fishtank sealant! Ok, ok. Maybe it's a bit of a fetish of mine - I don't even own any fish. (or a fishtank) I've never bothered to check - does Lisa get hot..? (I bet she does now - fnar, fnar!) My wife is into making cards (among other things) & maybe some glue-dots would be about perfect... ...look like little blobs of phlem. Sticky, but not unbreakable. |

Many Thanks Charlie.
I Will be interested to see which path you go down when you fit your Indivision. I think a 10mm soft drop test for the A1200 would be a good benchmark to prove the fixing method is secure. Those glue dot's sound very interesting???? and a possible solution. I don't believe LISA does get that hot, I've never heatsinked her (Fnar Fnar ) According to viddi the LISA socket may have been reworked during Production as his socket is the same. Let us know how you get on Charlie Cheers mate TC |

My Indivision has the same 'chop' out of the edge of the socket as your's & viddi's. I guess it's 'normal'.
I can imagine Jens thinking: 'There it's done, & it's lovely.' 'What do you mean it won't fit that particular mobo revision..?' '*£$&*(!!!' 'Where's my craft-knife gone? I'm going to have to mod every one before it goes out the door...' |

Did you replace the case and keyboard or use a whitening technique?

I suppose its up to the person doing it. As I have had no problems with hot glue in the past, doesnt me other havent had problems. Charlies idea sounds interesting though, . What about bathroom sealent, I would push that to "no more nails" but you might want to get the thing off in the future, . Ive never tried either off these, maybe someone else has? |

Would have to be a tough piece of rubber though. Or maybe something else with no conductive properties ofcourse. |

Cheers for the ideas FOL, The Rubber idea is interesting but Would need to apply pressure to the indivision at a purpendicular angle else you run the risk of popping it off, also heavy handed keyboard vibrations may upset it. I think I need to find some of Charlie's Glue spots. Thanks TC |

Dude, that is so very nice!
Hit up Ultrareliable (can't remember what he is called here, but that's him on Amibay) for a 64mb stick for your accelerator! I got two off him, they are short, fit fine, work great Again, very nice...very nice indeed! PZ. |
