A600/1200 PCMCIA slot activity LED hack?

[mingle]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to add an LED to indicate activity on the PCMCIA port on the A600 & A1200?

I'm thinking specifically when using CF card - it would be handy to be able to see when the card was being accessed.

Is it possible and, more importanmtly, is it something a moderately experienced soldered could handle?

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the link - now all I have to do is steel myself and prepare to hack my A1200!

Cheers,

Given that I've never tackled SMC soldering before, any tips?

How tough are surface-mount components? Can they stand a lot of bad-soldering and over-heating?

Would I be better of using normal resistors/transistors?

Cheers,

Mike.
