a1200 internal keyboard
« on: September 06, 2005, 01:38:56 PM »
is there any way of extending the green ribbon cable on the a1200?

i need it to be about 3 inches longer, so i can stick everything in the case

but would the 500 keyboard fit the 1200 case - with other stuff inside?

i'm trying to do an all in one wedge 1200, and i have it currently so that everything will fit, bar about 3 inch of keyboard ribbon, and its annoying that it doesnt fit
i was wondering wether it'd be feasable, because i already have parts to do this.

i'm talkin something like this.......

n/m kids i think i have this sussed..... i'm just gonna need some ice cream tubs, and some hot glue....... and a lot of patients.... and possibly some dried out cork.....

i just thought that if i move it further over, it'd mess with the clock header, and the floppy power, and led header

i'm going to try and bend them a little, or find some way of connecting it differently, but, thats better than resoldering the carbon contacts in the keyboard.
and it probably means i dont have to buy any more things to do it as well, saving me trawling through ebay for months, wooot



oh, and these fit rather well, in the scsi  bit in the desktop amiga 1200's.... for those with overheating desktops
and they're very quiet too
