Where the devil can i get these brackets from?

[CU_AMiGA]

Hello!

I was cleaning and dusting my Amiga 1200 the other day and i noticed that a few cables were hanging out of the back of Amiga through the slots at the back of my Power Tower, these cables being the Silver Surfer Cable and the Blizzardvision cable. I remember thinking to myself at the time "well #### me! This Amiga looks like a complete and utter ####ing mess! I better ####ing do something about it quick! Before the whole thing ####ing blows up like a ####ing time bomb! Then i would be completely in the ####!"

I hope that everyone knows what i mean. I am not too good at describing stuff, but hopefully everyone knows what i mean, if not then i am doomed! :-(

Regards,

No i typed it in as i said, like a reconstruction.

You mean PCI blanking plates? You could buy an ancient PC (or get one from a skip) and harvest them from there, i guess.

Yes! You've got the point! :-) But i can't seem to find any. :-( Are there any poeple that would kindly have any spares for me to buy off them or point me in the right direction as in websites. I guess another alternative is to look in boot sales or computer stores/shops.

You're not a Derek and Clive fan, perchance?

Who the devil are Derek and Clive?! :-)

IIRC, DoomMaster has helped in the past, 3M or Matsushita (don't recall well) in the development of that brakets.

Ciao

Thanks for that, but where do i get these from? I am pretty desperate for these, as my tower looks like a complete mess at the moment.

HHHMMM!!!

Maybe i will have a little search for some.

Thanks,

Hey, thinking about it, why wasn't your subject line:
"Where the #### can i get these brackets from?"?

Cos that would have sounded a bit rude!

@Doobrey

Thanks, i will try that. I have a local PC World, but not a local Maplin. I will look on their web site.

Well i searched my local PC World, Titan Computers and other little shops but couldn't find the ones i want. Not the ones that my Blizzardvision VGA socket and Silbver Surfer socket will fit into! :-(

Anyone on the org have any for spare!?

Can you give me the specs of the holes, I have a pile of backplanes here from onlder AT's I'm sure something would work for you. You pay the postage, and they're yours for nothing.  :-D

Hello Jagabot!

That's a very generous offer. Thank you. :-)
I am useless a technical stuff. So i will describe them.

I need 2 blanking plates with holes in, at different sizes. The hole on the first blanking plate must be the size of a VGA socket, so the Blizzardvision socket can fit through on and screw in place. The hole in the second blanking plate must be the same size as the Amiga serial cable socket, which is the same size as the Silver Surfer one incidently, this must also screw into place as well. Speaking of would you happen to have 2 screws for the Silver Surfer socket, so it can screw into place.

I hope that you know what i mean, thanks again.

So it is one hole for SUB-D-9 (same as SUB-D15) and one for SUB-D-25.

Or in other words:
1 9-pin serial + 1 25-pin serial or parallel.

Unbelieveable that these shoul be so hard to find  :-o

edit:
took me 15 secs to find one  :-P

Yeah! Its probably just me! I seem to have to do stuff the hard way! :-(

[CU_AMiGA]

But i only need the blanking plates. I don't really want to be lumbered with a graphics card or something. Plus it is more money that i am already paying.

@jagabot

Yes! That is exactly what i need! Well done! As for the screws i was meaning the 2 for the Silver Surfer Serial socket, as i already have screws for the Blizzardvision VGA socket. But that doesn't matter, you can send me all 4 of the screws, just incase it doesn't go according to plan. I will PMail/ email you my address. Thanks again.
