Falcon moved to big tower case

Hi Everyone.

I've moved the Falcon motherboard to a nice big tower case.

Everything is working fine but...I need some help on the Falcon motherboard.

Would someone be so kind as to write a step-by-step document on how to lead out all its connector, or point me to someone who could make the necessary cables and connectors?

I would most definitely be will to pay for the cables and connectors as my time is at a premium these days.

Thanks!

The Amiga 1200 has a tower case already designed to work with a Amiga 1200 motherboard. You would probably want a eiffel connector so you can hookup a pc keyboard and mouse to the Atari Falcon. If you do a google search on atari falcon tower case there are some web sites that mention how to put the Falcon motherboard in a tower case as well as making cables etc. If I could get a amiga 1200 tower case that would work with Atari Falcon motherboard that is what I would do for myself. But I don't have a CT60/CT63 so there is really no need for me to get one.

That's just it....I've already mounted motherboard, ct60, drives, etc. inside the big tower case. It works great except....I need the Falcon's connectors run out to the back of the case.

Thanks!

Im just about to setup my Falcon in a tower. Im a little scared to be honest although I dont know why.

I have actually thought of half-cheating and just making a wooden case to go around the entire Falcons case... but I know my woodwork... Thats why I have not done it yet.

Anyway, when I did my MegaST, I adapted all the cables myself, and I have to ring my own bell here, but I did a pretty great job too!

I would be a little worried about doing the Falcon though... I have spent far too much on it to risk it.

Amiga1200 will take the Falcon eh?
This would involve a little work perhaps?
Would it take a PC PSU though?

Exactly what connectors do you need?

Or you want them all?

Which ones have you already done?

I want all of them except for the midi and cartridge ports...I have no intention of using those ports at all.

If you have any more questions or would like to get in touch, just email me.

Thanks Greenious

My time is a bit limited right now, but I can probably make a couple of extensions for you. Some extensions you should be able to get in any computershop, if you have some imagination & improvisation skills. Notably the audio & SCSI should be doable with standard stuff, aswell as parallell/serial.
