Post by: amiga4000freak on July 02, 2012, 04:55:26 PM

Does anyone know if you can fit a fast ata from amiga kit ontop of a indivision mk2,because it looks like the indivision might be in the way looking at the diagram. Also if i had a busboard aswel any ideas?.

It is in the way, I used 2*2 IC holders to create the spacing needed.
The only problem is, that that does not leave enough room to fit the keyboard.

That's a shame because I was wondering about physical compatibility with the FastATA as well. Oh well.
Do you happen to know if a clockport Prelude physically conflicts with the IndivisionAGA MkII or not?

take the keyboard and slightly bow it... its pretty close, you'll never notice with the case closed.

also make sure to put some electrical tape so it does not short out against the KB.

the people on EAB have a different solutuion mounting the FastATA at an angle
