    Yes yes, i am taking photos of it.
    Are you thinking in doing something similar? with a laptop mboard?
    You do need to mesure the size of it, my mboard is going to fit inside upside down with a strange angle... the only way possible.
    Do you have a keyrah?

    That looks very small...
    ha, i would like one as small as that one... mine is huge...
    what about the power on button? Is it a button? switch? Or you do the power on button by the leybboard like mine?
    what amiga case are you thinking?

    Tiago the power button is on the mboard (iam sure thats what it is) not on keyboard
    Well considering my A1200 case as iam using the A600. In the next few days i will be testing the board to make sure it still works. Your mboard does look big.
    Many Thanks

    if it is on mboard, then just solder 2 wires to a simple on/off switch. And bring the switch to outside the case. the composite hole could be a good. I found onw switch that has exactly the same size as that hole.

    Oh, all the talk really is enticing me to do the same. However, rather than a laptop motherboard I've been wanting to utilise a mini-itx board with a dual core atom or maybe the faster ones now available with Core 2 sockets. Would be great.

    Also this project is one I could actually see a Catweasel being useful, as a PC floppy could be founded in the A1200's floppy bay and connected up, so real Amiga, other system, and PC disks could be read.

    Are you both going to wire up the A1200's LEDs for Power and HDD access? Would really finish it off.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
