A1200 custom case with Mediator?

Wow, I never wanted to towerize my 1200 but the prospect of having a Voodoo PCI card in there is exciting! How fast is a 256 color desktop with a PCI video card on an A1200 (say 50mhz 030)? Is it fast? Hmmmmmm!!!

I wonder how difficult it would be to build a "mini" mediator which is just a small PCB and cables to connect a PCI video card and stuff it inside the original A1200 case?!

Well, as long as those chips aren't custom or PLA's on the mediator, I dont see any reason why one couldn't build a "single slot" version using the same chipset which has a connector (and passthrough) for the A1200 and a wide cable to connect to the PCI card which could then be stuffed in the case where a 3.5" HD would normally get stuffed.

That mediator looks pretty simple to me, but I have no idea what those IC's are since I don't own one

A nice high resolution front and back image of the card might help.

Arrrgh I really want one just for a video card but I just don't know if I'm willing to give up my classic desktop A1200... I love the compactness of the A1200! :cry:
