8-Bit "Racked" in a Mega Case?

I have a broken Mega 4, a couple of spare 800XLs, and a modded 3.5" XF551. Would it be possible, given the available space in a Mega shell, to place a 800XL inside it?

 

Not bad, not bad at all!

You should contact Gunstar (akak Matthew Baker) for further details he is very good with electronics, and he might clue you in the right direcction for this recasing!

 

BUT OVERALL VERY GOOD IDEA

An 800 xe board will fit precisely(when looking from the outside of the mega case).

 

if you hold the 800 xe board in front of the mega st case, you will see that there are on the left and right about 0.5 centimeter is left...

 

post some pics when you're project has some progress !

you are right, inside the tower there is both PC & ATARI with 320k ram,

there is a switch to share some of the devices between the ATARI & PC, like 3.5" drive, Speakers etc..

 

there is also a compositve to VGA converter to allow connecting a SVGA monitor and use it for both the ATARI & PC.

 

if you look in the pictures.. there is an ATARI XL keyboard mechanic embeded in the PC shell, with the AKI keyboard interface.. that allows to connect a PC keyboard into the ATARI computer. so the same keyboard is been used for both PC & ATARI mode
