Pc inside Amiga 1200 project - completed

[Tiago]

The cable is about 20cm... quite strange, but i found similar problems by other people on the web.
The cable cost me less then 1 dollar includind shipping... it looks good, looks a "normal" cable, i don't know if is good or not...

As a Pee Cee Mother board, it was biuld for being inside a very closed case (laptop). In A1200 case it has similar space. I have the original cooler fan, so temperature is equal as in the origianl Pee Cee.

WHY did you do it. I find the answer is because i CAN do it.
And its a challenge

Yes !! That's it, it was a challenge, i learned a lot with it, my soldering skills were bad, now, they are a bti better.

SATA cables do seem more fragile than the older IDE ones and seem to suddenly stop working if handled a few times. I find the ones bundled with Asus motherboards the most reliable.

Yes,
and this cable has vrey thin wires, and with 20 centimeters a guess they can receive "interference".
Maybe if i cut then to half size they would work better?

I don't know, but i am looking at the Rashberry pi, and i looks very interesting...

I would personally look at the new Android board for such a project. Only for the reason it can run all Android software from the app store so already has a large library including emulators. Although with the Raspberry Pi you can run Linux.
