Thankfully a more positive update this week :)

Sourced a replacement metal chassis and made some modifications to it so as to fit around the LCD panel mount.

Assembled almost everything for a test fit, so far so good. The extra video RAM does currently impinge on the metal chassis, but I’ve ordered some PCBs and parts to make the dual slot adapter that Chopsticks on 68KMLA designed.

This means the video card RAM sticking out won’t be an issue, and more importantly means I can use an ethernet card I already have without having to source an expensive one with the PDS passthrough… Mac84 desoldered and replaced the slot on one designed for a Mac IIsi, as the passthrough comes out at a right angle, but another solution would have been to do this.

Still to do: I need to internally mount the LCD driver board, PSU, power switch and input… And also replace capacitors on (and clean!) the main logic-board…
