HD in A2000: where?
« on: December 16, 2005, 06:50:16 PM »
Today I obtained a GVP series II 030 accelerator board with SCSI-controlller and 16MB RAM. Works very nice! But I don't have space left for the HD. There are two floppy drives and a CD-ROM writer.

I used to have an A2091 with an option to mount the HD on the card itself an I don't have the optional mounting bracket for the GVP.

Any ideas where to put the {bleep}? Thanks!

I'd personally take a look at someone's GVP combo card with the original mounting bracket and make my own.  It's just a piece of simply formed metal.  The way the A2000 m/b is laid out, the back of the combo card is the ideal spot for a harddrive without losing a zorro or isa slot for the future.

Does anybody have a picture or drawing of this mounting bracket?

I have made this. Although not a piece of fine machinery, it works. I think the aulminium is too thin (1mm) and bends too easy. So next time I will make a stronger one.
