Mirrored simm socket for Blizzard 1260?

[delshay]

iv been working on my own simms for some while and all my fastest simms has some kind of modification done on the card. but what i think is needed here is to remove the the simm socket alltogether and replace it with a PCB which has max and fastest dram ( 40ns or faster ) chips so that overclocking can be done.

the PCB should mounted as near as possilble to the simm soldering contacts via 72 pins to make it a drop-in replacement for the old simm socket. i think there is a market for this type of modifcation for A1200 accelerators,as it's not easy finding the right simm.


A1200 PSU

the same can be done to the A1200 motherboard,remove the RF filters and and maybe the RF video output and replace it with a PSU PCB 12v input. the PCB should also replace the old amiga PSU socket. NOTE: there are some extra hole already there on the A1200 motherboard which can be used to hold the PCB and provide power the motherboard.

if you are very good you can build your own PSU direct to the A1200 motherboard in this area.

Hello:
So worried for nothing... Apart of that it only has taked 4 days to come from USA to the Canary Islands, it's the thinniest and shorter memory simm I've seen with 128 mb.
Look at the photos. The 128mb is the one atached to the Blizzard 1260, and the one below is a 16mb one. They are almost the same...!
 
Still I'm not going to put it, because first want to receive the floppy drive and to run it with the other (Hawk ram board), but I believe I will close the trapdoor without problems, don't you think?

Finally I tried to put the blizzard with the 128 memory simm, and although the trapdoor closes, it was very tight, so I did some modifications to it. The memory needs around 2 mm more, so as the plastic of the trapdoor is very thick, I cutted a rectangle that fits the measurements of the memory simm and cutted an speaker grill to fit the hole. Later I covered the grill with a resin to avoid electric shorts.
Now the trapdoor closes right, without pressure, and it will be cooler even.
What do you think, Amigadave (and others)?
Here are a couple of photos of the trapdoor:
