Hi!

Yes it's totally possible!  You can see mine running here:

I recommend as I have used to put small feet to raise the A1200 slightly, this will create an airflow underneath, I also put a fan above the BVision, it was quite noisy but quieter solutions are available.

I was using a converted ATX PSU and put extra Power into the Floppy connector, this helps ensure the BVision get's enough power.

You can do a tidier internal install taking more time, the only thing to bare in mind is during prolonged use is still gets pretty warm, if you put a separate fan on your 68040 this might help, look for a low profile chipset style cooler with integral fan and use adhesive transfer tape to secure.

Good luck with your project.

Steve.
