A1200 mod
« on: December 21, 2008, 02:17:39 PM »
Hi everyone!
I'm modding my A1200 with Blizzard PPC and BVision, all in the original case. I added a Fast Ata to connect Hard disk, DVD/CD Rom and a CF disk.
The problem is that Fast Ata and BVision card are in conflict each other: they can't be fitted in the same time.
I tried to add two couple of rom sockets due to make Fast Ata higher than BVision and that's ok!
But keyboard doesn't fit well anymore... :(
In fact, now Fast Ata is too high and keyboard touches the roms making impossible to close the A1200 case....
I removed one socket for each rom bank and Fast Ata still fit well without touching the BVision. But keyboard doesn't still fit well =(
Any solution?!?
Is it possible to make a cable to connect BVision to Blizzard, due to move the BV where I want?  :crazy:
And if it is so, who can do it?!?   :-?
Thanks!

P.S: I have a Fast Ata MK III too and I even tried with that. But the results were the same...
And after all, I have 4XEIDE too. Although I'd prefer to use the Fast Ata... :-)
All things are doable in a better way, even those well done.
One can figure out the others......

@ Gavilan:
I'm going to check Amigakit cable.:-)
 But sorry, I didn't understand the rom sockets to upper the BVision....
What kind of rom sockets and where to put them?
Thanks!

Ciao!

It's not that cable I asked for =)
BVision has a connector to fit directly on the Blizzard PPC. I was thinking about a cable that could connect this two cards ( a female/male cable with that type of connector).
Thanks the same!! =)
