spinoff project

I am considering a spinoff of the a1200 project for my other a1200 This amiga will be housed in a 1541 shell with a window where the wents normally reside on top It Will have red light inside Use ext usb keyboard with red light Use slimline cd drives Use 4 way ide splitter Use cf card Use ssd Use sata to pata adaptor Use mikromys adaptor for a Black logitech mouse with red light It came to me when I was browsing defective 1541 drives online and one was missing some of its top Also I am considering adding an internal ATX PSU to the a1200 in the c64 case

continuation of the amiga 1200 project

I have been working on my amiga 1200 mod Some more picture, I did the floppy fix and now the gotek works Pictures of the progress Last pic is a pic of my second amiga 1200 .... link to amiga power pinout info http://old.pinouts.ru/Power/amiga500power_pinout.shtml will need this for lights etc.. might integrate a powered USB hub (5v) and the USB switch ...and I will fit red light inside (12v) the hole that housed the power light that is not empty will be used for 2 push buttons... one red to reset the amiga and one black for the USB switch (an extra hole will be drilled) I need a reset since the new USB keyboard does not have the required keys for amiga reset from keyboard the right side of the keyboard will house a number of red diode lights: USB selector selected Amiga USB selector selected External Power Floppy activity IDE activity PCMCIA activity also.. I add a CF card as HDD and I will cut a hole for the PCMCIA on the left side of the case... stay tuned!
