Csa derringer in a A600

[mechy]

Hi all,
   i have embarked on a project to adapt a csa derringer 030/50 to the A600,its a big board but i think i can make it fit.If not its a good experiment.Why you ask? because i have it
I am using a upside down plcc socket on the A600's 68000 chip and running a short ribbon cable to a dip style 68000 socket,the csa will plug into this,its a temporary adapter to see if it will work.If so i will desolder the csa's pins and add ribbon there and see if i can make this all fit(HA!)
I think the csa maps ram outside the zorro space,so i am hoping it will allow the 600's pcmcia work.
I have the 68000 socket pinouts for both,and thats not a problem,but i need to know how to switch the 600's onboard chip out/disable it so the csa will run.or is this even necessary? i assume theres a pin on the plcc 68000 that must be put high or low?

anyone of you hardware hackers out there have any ideas?

leirbag28,
 
   I wont hurt the derringer,its a pin for pin hack pretty much.I recieved this card dead originally from a guy and then repaired it.

we know it works in the A500 already,thats no fun Besides,the A500 has no pcmcia,which is the main reason for doing it in a 600.

Xanxi,
   Its just an experiment.The board appears to fit ,but its tight and i can't be sure until i desolder the pins(calm down,i wont hurt the CSA!).if i had to add a fan and or heatsinks,thats fine. i have to prove it works first.

it will just clear the floppy ,and the hd will have to be relocated,probably to the trap door,or i may just use the CF/ide adapter and run a CF for a hard drive.

If i can see it run or not run,and then it will not fit,i will restore the csa like it was.
