Mounting a scandoubler inside an 1200

[Doppie1200]

Hello,

I'm about to pay for an order I placed at versalia when I suddenly realize I better ask here first.

Versalia is selling a scandoubler intended for the use inside a towerized 1200. Personally I don't like towers so I want to keep the 1200 inside it's original casing.

Is it at all possible to mount the scandoubler inside there. Relocating the harddrive and put it all back together again?

A version existed that was intended for the stock 1200. The differnce was the chip it clipped over as I recall.
I don't know if this makes it all impossible to do.

(note; I do know how to use a dremel :-D ).

Hope to hear from you soon

Regards
Erno

An external seems no longer available at vesalia. Since I'm ordering other stuff there to I thought I might aswell add the scandoubler.

Will it really buldge the case?

I though height would not be a problem since the harddrive is not sitting quite that low either.

Sounds like a solid approach.

This is what came to mind.

I move the harddisk to the far left and rotate it 90 degree. The cable facing to the front of the machine.
I can make a metal plate mounted to the plastic on three corners to the housing of the machine and one corner, the lower right, rest on the tinware.

This way the harddrive sits directly above the power circuitry. I will need a longer cable fot the harddrive to achieve this.

What do you think?

All right,

I will proceed with my order. Sounds like I'm going to have a lot of fun installing the scandoubler.

The idea of removing the RF modulator seems pretty good to me. I have not ised it ever. If I want to connect the machine to a TV I use a scart cable.

@adolescent
It does seem there is not that much space there at the RF connector. Do you have a picture of your modification?

@All
This thread has been very inspiring so far. Keep up the good posts
