I got a hardrive last week, and needed a case and power supply, so I went to
a local PC-clone shop, and picked up a "BabyAT" case and 200W power supply.
After installing the hardrive (a full height 5.25"), and having an empty space,
in the "drive-bay", I wondered if the A500 motherboard, etc. would fit?
The answer is "No, not with an PC-type power supply."
The A500 motherboard is large, especially with the A501 RAM/clock.
It will take up all of the floor space inside the case, including the area
where the pc-power supply would go...
After I get my SCSI controller, and 1.3roms installed in my A500, and running,
I'll consider trying to install everything in the BabyAT case, with a different
power supply scheme. Right now I'll keep my eyes open for a clone keyboard,
that has the same case cutout as the A500 keyboard.
P.S. When I opened up my A500's RFI shield to look at what the 1.3 rom upgrade
entailed, I saw that my cpu has "ST" stamped on it. Is this a new VIRUS??
