look at this link.

http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=2410=10

to fit keyboard.

take keyboard apart. cut a hole in the metal just enough so that the keyboard metal plate does not touch the rom chips.

do not over-cut the plate if you do you may have problems where the keys hit the pads.

then put a very flexable plastic where the hole is. ( this is to support the keyboard internal pad/interface.

put every back together,you will not be able to put all the screws back as a hole is now present where the roms stick though.

when you put the keyboard back,you have to still have to bend it a bit more but this will have no effect how it looks from the outside and will work as normal.

NOTE: the above also support the roms pushing them in the socket inproving contact.


COOLING A1200:

during a long overnight test with HERETIC II running i did not have a single problem 8hr no holes cut in the trapdoor no crashes but this project does have a problem elswhere ( PCMCIA ).



PCMCIA PROBLEM:

it can read/write ok but was unable to go online.

FAULT: one of the following.

software problem.

the PCMCIA port was already faulty ( i bought motherboard off EBAY.

i may have taken out a signal somewhere.

it may have something to do with my ISP & AMIGA,iv had  problem before.

when i find time i will fix whatever the problem is.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:

single socket is used in each rom socket. look at my link you can see clear plastic which isolate contact between Bvision **MEMORY MICRO CHIPS** & EIDE controller. **VERY IMPORTANT**.

to avoid contact with the EIDE controller solder legs & Bvision i *TRIM* the solder contacts on the EIDE to avoid any possible contact with Bvision.

the plastic insulater is there to make sure of no possible contact.  

i TRIM most of the EIDE legs as i have the A1200 sheiding in place.  
 
there is also clear plastic on the hardrive holder, ( precaution only ) protecting the EIDE of possible contact with the hardrive holder.

more pictures will be uploaded to help fit EIDE MKIII & Bvision in A1200 desktop if needed.

PERSONAL NOTE:

EIDE MKIII *does not* connect in the normal way in the above project.

PROJECT 5 UPDATE:

the Blizzard PPC has been updated im not going to say what it is at this stage but it is working. this is going to be a shock to some Blizzard PPC owners.

PROJECTS TO COMPLETE: FURY III and my two evil projects BALROCK & L******.

no information will be release whatsoever about the L****** project.  

most of the remaining projects is centerd around the Blizzard PPC & Bvision.

there has been a small setback on my projects due to external problems & may take upto 4 weeks to get back on track.

the keyboard does fit,you just need a small cutting tool to cut a hole for the rom chips to stick though. thats it!
