Resurrected / Frankenstein A600

[VuData]

Hi,

I'm in the middle of reviving a dead A600 by stripping the guts out of it and installing a Keyrah to use it with WINUAE. Does anybody know of a way to fill the port holes in the back of the case and have it not look $hit? I'll be using the power/comp/RF holes for leads & switches but I'd like to cover the rest (and the floppy slot maybe).

Is there any type of Polyfiller-for-retro-computers about?

Thanks.

you could just snap the old ports off and hot glue them in to the holes. Quick dirty fix.

That's a good idea. The original board is knackered due to a Lager/Kick Off 2 session many years ago so ripping the ports off isn't an issue.

How much space does the keyrah actually take. Just thinking some weight in the machine might be a good idea.

It's 11x8cm. I've mounted it in the center of the case and run extensions to the joystick ports on the side and ordered USB & keymap switches to run to the board (it actually doesn't fit too well in the A600 case). Once the keyboard is installed, it's not too bad weight wise. It doesn't feel too flimsy.  Shame the Amiga mouse wont work in the Keyrah though.

Modeling plastic can be gotten in sheets at any model or hobby shop, or ordered online. You can cut a strip of appropriate size, cover the back of the whole thing and redrill new holes that will be more appropriate to your new motherboard...
