picoPSU is quite nice power supply solution for EFIKA.

Anyone wanting to put EFIKA inside A1000 and use the original keyboard: keyrah should allow that (or maybe not, they speak about A1200/A600 keyboard there. I wonder if it can be made to work with A1000 keyboard?).

I'd guess it's about 4-5cm high. Depends a bit on the graphics card used (and if the backplate can be removed).

The board itself is 118mm x 153mm.

If you look at those pictures, you'll notice that it ataches directly to the "foil-plug" of an A1200/600-KBD, so no luck for A1000/2000/3000-KBDs that use a regular PCB (and have the KBD-CPU on it).

At least some A500/A2000 keyboards have the same ribbon connector but only maybe 1cm length, so connecting could be possible but not in very meaningful way. Even if it was possible to connect it physically, it would be impossible to fit the board inside the keyboard. So this won't work...

How do I install an OS

Boot from USB memory stick sounds easiest.
