Hi peepz and I wish a good year to everyone :)
Last week was kinda painful cause I didn't have my A4000 to tinker, since I sent it's motherboard to Cosmos for general repairs (that will be covered in another thread though).
That's why I had time to check out the former lady that was sitting patiently in my office after I sold it's powerful heart (BPPC+BVision).
I thought about removing all components to clean them up and take some photos in case I decide to split and sell every part individually.
Those components are...
I was very sad to see these go so I decided for now to keep and re-install to my A1200.
The problem existed with Ian's ATX adapter and PicoPSU that for some reason, didn't work as intended. It worked but power button needed pushing A LOT of times which made me rethink about the whole idea of Push-On switch.
After fiddling around Ian's website and some schematics about ATX to Amiga Pinout... I removed Ian's ATX adapter (that took some time as I soldered PicoPSU directly to the adapter - you need to check some older posts to see it) and soldered the appropriate cables into it directly :)
After that, I only needed to wire Pin 13 and Pin 14 of PicoPSU into a simple On/Off switch and that was it.
That's one white nice switch I had on my stash for quite some time (which replaced my old switch that was mounted on Ratte's Auto AGA/RTG switch).
...and here is how I mounted PicoPSU now (without it's connector) into a plastic custom stand
Working really well I might add :)
Check the following 2 photos to get a better general look.
You can also check a quick video I grabbed showing how fast it boots ClassicWB 68k.
Not feeling bad about keeping the lot in the end (at least for now).
Only thing missing right now is an 030 I think... Oh well, ACA1231 is close :)
Stay tuned \o/

My modded Idefix Express
My loved Slim IDE DVD-RW with 44pin JAE to IDE adapter and 3way 44pin ribbon cable
My old and trusty Subway USB (Serial No. 13!)
...and one of the Clockport Expanders by DJBase and an EZkey PS/2 adapter

Let me know the price of the subway and Clockport expander if you are selling
Great job my friend!
Let me ask:
The keyboard fits well (with DVD unit sitting on CF adapter)? I did try this, but it doesn't fit...
What is the magic? ;)
Best regards!
