Looking for help with hardware hacking...

[McTrinsic]

Hi all,

this time I need some help with real hardware - hacking. Ihopy any of you could help me with this.

I am looking for an adaptor, a sort of a riser card, for the Amiga 2000 VIDEO SLOT.

That means, I want the card that is put into the Videoslot to be parallel to the mainboard instead of standing on it.

Similar adaptors for PCI and AGP exist,  is anyone of you able to make one for the Video Slot???

Thanks a lot,
McTrinsic

Well, nice idea, BUT:

youre talking to someone who never has soldered, and the only thing I have in electronics was to exchange cards and chips...

By the way, I have been checking the Classic Amiga Hardware Resource Sites, and I am wondering if it is worth it: I would liek to use all graphic modes of the ECS on a VGA monitor ... Anyone who can recommend one?

So you mean I should get two of these:

cut the smaller part of both and have the adapter?

Nice idea again,

but... looks costly.

Won't the power supply be in the way?  What exactly are you planning on doing?  You can not put the Amiga 2000 motherboard into a PC tower case, the board is too big.     :roll:

No, its not in the way if the riser card lets the chips face down, or if the card is tilted to the left  from behind.

I want to use this on a Phoenixboard, not on an A2000. They got the same Videoslot.

Have fun,
