PCMCIA angled card :)

[fragment]

I've been thinking doing something like this too. It would be handy to flip the NIC full 180 degrees to make it fully internal. For both A1200 and A600.

Overpriced?: two connectors for 20 quids

Have you seen the price of PCMCIA connectors in small quantities?
Also, add in the price for a small run of PCBs to solder them to.

I was gonna build one myself, but after I priced it up it was cheaper to buy one ready made.

Have you seen the price of PCMCIA connectors in small quantities? of course .) here you can buy at electronic store how much you want

sorry, i must just laugh..

how to say it. European market is against homemade whatever, but not always, and not our:

BLPK22-S068H5 - Lowprofile pcmcia smd male connector = 36,-CzK (0.8 GBP)

and bunh co pcm you cam made for approx 60czk (1-10pieces)

180 degree bend will be not possible i think

can anybody close this tread?

its agains amiga community

In what way is it against the community?  Do you mean that some people saying that users should not hack their own hardware is against the community?  Or saying that some vendors have overpriced products is against the community?  Why do you think the thread should be closed?

I just want to give hint howto directly use €4 pcmcia card in a tower.
But there are many votes agains it  :lol:

Hey, take it easy Chain. That was a novel way of solving a problem.
I was only taking issue with the 'overpriced' comment, not slamming you for trying something different. (BTW. I you'd have said 'expensive' I'd agree with you.)
 Sorry if I caused any offence.

Some of you might have seen this picture before.
This is my sollution to the pcmcia/tower problem. I do not know how long the wires can be before data error...

heath robinson would be proud of us amiga users   :idea:

I almost forgot... I used a pccard slot from a old dead laptop which I got for free from a local pcstore. The whole build didn't cost more than that ide cable I used. Probably spent 3-4 hours with the soldering iron. Had to do the motherboard side twice because I didn't pay attention and ended up with all the connections backwards... Thank God it didn't kill the motherboard when I tested it.

I only see two files renamed "you already cannot see pics"
The links don't work for me.

I get the same as _ThEcRoW.

@ dawpiper.

Nice work. I'd like my pcmcia in a bay to be honest and that could be just the way to do it. :pint:
