External DPS TBC IV install

[SACC-guy]

While there has always been several external box solutions for housing TBC's.
I used a extra 2000 and then there is the DPS ES2200 etc.

I think the issue might be the lenght of 50 pin cable  from the PAR to the TBC.

If I remember correctly...(sigh) DPS included the shorty cable for the install due to signal issues?
I'm looking for my old manual to read up on the question?

@mike

FYI....the abyss just happens to have one that was presented to us at amiwest...

Check out the zorro at/xt slots in images on line

I think it could even offer you left over slots (grin) for more stuff!

They do mention that the 50 pin cable is a shorty.  I assumed it was because the TBCIV and the PAR would normally sit close together and a longer cable was not necessary.  Your right though, it could be that a longer cable here could be a problem with my idea.

On reading the manual, another issue maybe with the ide cable (must be 18 inches or less)

The IDE cable comes off the PAR not the TBC IV.  I would leave the PAR and it's attached IDE drive connected to the PAR inside the Amiga.  It's the TBC IV I was going to move outside.  The idea only seemed feasible because the ISA slot only provided power.

Opps, I get that, just lost the thread...
