Anchoring Accelerator in D-Box1200 Tower
« on: October 11, 2012, 01:53:04 AM »
I have a D-Box for my A1200 with Phase 5 Blizzard IV +SCSI.  I'm a little concerned about the accelerator connector breaking because the accelerator board does not firmly mount to the 1200 mother board.  It flops side-to-side and is only kept in place by the tension of the SCSI cable.

I checked the case and the board and I don't see any easy way to secure the accelerator board to the case to keep it from moving.  Has anyone had a similar problem and come up with a solution?

As far as I can tell, there are no mounting brackets in the D-Box case to secure the accelerator.  I could rig a bracket from the drive bays or the power supply, but I rather not.  I could also secure it to the removable side panel, but that might be annoying if I have to open the case on that side.  Maybe run a piece of plastic under the 1200 board and the accelerator and place a clip over it and the accelerator?

Thanks,
Bubba
