I was just about to say, if you are using internal CD HD with an accelerator a Goliath PSU might be a good investment

i did this hack with a teac slim cd, bought the mini ide adapter and fitted the cd comin out of the back left of the a1200.
i ran this and an apollo 1230 on a a500 heavy brick supply with no problems at all.

since gone back to a complete 1200 and a squirrel scsi with external drives.

This was something I planned on doing with an A500, if I could  find an internal IDE controller.

I miss my A500.


Woo Hoo for my *FREE* one that's coming up here, the day after X-Mas. XD

I have about a dozen laptop cd's. I wrote amigakit to ask about a cable to adapt them to IDE 40pin. They said they would check into it.


I asked them once in a forum if they had something suitable and they never replied.  I guess they don't like me.

Seriously though, if they manage to sell you somekits or have something in stock and you end up eBaying some of those drives then please let us know.

ok managed to pick up a abused A1200 for £20 of ebay and afew of the other parts I need. I was trying to locate a 030 or 040, but not alot happening there. So the only spare card I have lying about is a 060/160mhz BPPC.  I know its not recommended to fit one of these cards into a desktop amiga but at this point in time i have no option as a standard 1200 just doesnt do it for me :)

PSU is'nt a problem as I binned afew of those crappy plastic infinitive towers but kept all the connectors :)

So whats the recommended options for installing a bppc into a desktop 1200?

@ SamOS39

You and I have the same tower, only yours is cleaner lol

Although I was toying with decorating one of the sides with a massive custom printed boing ball sticker or maybe even an AmiZilla one

Must investigate those options again after xmas  :-)

 Look at this hack: the guy managed to install a BVision inside the original desktop case.

 It's not hard at all. The only concern is cooling the system. Lots of fans and heatsinks.

 If you buy a 040 then you have to live with stirring fans, anyways...

Hi the the components needed is:

Slimline cd rom "in my case TEAC 224"
Laptop IDE converter
Cable after your need Leamans computing will make one for you..

i'm interested in this hack. i think a tower is too big to be usable sometimes.

1. i would be using a apollo 40 32mb ram, hd either a 3gb or 20gb and the slim cd rom, cocolino, pcmcia network card. and buffered interface if needed. would i be ok with an a500 powerbrick?

2. can someone point to a slim cd on ebay that would work? does it matter about make? would an ibm t21 drive be ok. as i have a spare one.

i ended up buying a DVD/CDRW slot loader off of mini-itx.com they've got a good range, plus the right adapters.

as i run a BPPC in my A1200 desktop, i bought a NanoATX PSU from them as well, plus a D-box ATX to AT adapter, snipped the AT cables to goto the power socket, and clipped the drive leads to goto three floppy plugs, one for extra power to the mainboard, one for the DVD, and one for the floppy. so its all inside the case.

one day i may even put the lid back on!  :lol:
i just need some good ideas for PPC cooling...
