Hmmm... I agree, It's a well done hack but... I don't see the point on that kind of hacks...


@ SaMiga
A nice idea and a great piece of work... :)

@ ferix
The point is, to be creative and make use of what limited hardware is available to us Amiga users and have fun & enjoy doing it... :)

Ok, let me explain myself...
From my personal point of view, this is like trying to fit an enzo  ferrari chassis into a testarossa body... both are very good cars, why  to ruin them?
I understand you would want to put a better (even) turbo on them, or to  change the wheels... or simply pimp them up... but not to turn them into  a  mess...
Do you see my point?
But, if It's funny for you, It's ok for me ;)

What I really hate are modern computers into retro ones, like a peecee  mobo into an amiga case (I know there are some) or into a zx spectrum or  C64...
God!!! Keep It retro!!! :P

As for me, I'll try to keep pimping up my amigas :P


Explanation noted and then discarded ... :)

Still don't see your point ! what is it your trying to say... :confused:

With this keeping your Amiga away from "PC towering", in an original Amiga case anyway!  :)


I could never bring myself to put an A1200 in a PC case, they're far too big and awkward to reasonably place anywhere, thats why I ended up making my own custom tower out of wood, less than half the depth and fits neatly under any desk... :)
