Title: Custom Amiga A1200 150pin card connectors.
Post by: MadAngus on January 05, 2012, 08:24:35 AM

This may be of Interest to some.

I have been on AmiBay looking for 150pin card connectors, and thanks to Zetr0 a method of making a Custom 150pin card connector has been discussed using PCI connectors. Zetr0 shows one he made earlier. I have sourced a distributor of right angled PCI connectors which I am going to purchase.

The thread is Here (http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=23880)

What are you going to be doing with these connectors?

I'm planning on fitting my spare 1200 rev2B board in a dell desktop case. However the case width does not accept the full width of the board plus my Blizzard, so I'm going to have to make a flip card. Think of the mediator connector, except used to flip the blizzard 180 degrees. With the PCI connector I can make a connector to fit onto the A1200 trapdoor card connector.

In case your wondering what the point of putting the 2B in a desktop case, I have other plans for this case, super secret plans.  ;)
