My crazy project.

That is some remarkable stuff. I remember being fanatical enough in the 80's to slightly modify the keyboard matrix of a Tandy Model 4P keyboard so I could install it in a Coco3.

You do clean work.

I was thinking of something similar myself, but going the easy route with a keyrah adapter. Then either a Mac Mini or a Powermac motherboard.

After all, since no PPC adapters fit an a500, I don't think MorphOS has ever been run on one.

Pretty neat stuff.
You might want to consider a 2.5" laptop hard drive with an adapter.
It will cut down on space used, heat, and power draw.

Are you thinking of running AROS?

I have two dirt cheap Sylvania Atom based netbooks. Both have broken LCD panels. The smaller 8.9" unit doesn't switch automatically, and the larger 10.1 inch unit does.
The problem seems to be that a setting needs to be changed in the bios.
But if you can't see the initial display you can't change it.

Too cool.
Thanks for the update.
I've been following this since you first posted and its great that you got it working.
And, if you want to run Amiga apps, there's always UAE.

An Amiga 500 that can run WinXP and Amiga apps side by side.
Persistence seems to be the hallmark of Amiga users.
