FrankenTurd6100™ 'mit G3/HPV/NuBus concept pics are up!
Here's a shot of the KBD Drawer/Shelf I never completed:
IIRC both of the bracket pairs were fabbed from 20ga galvanized sheet metal.
Note the Homebrew shelf above it, whose twin brother mounted at the top. They're "identical" cousins of the twin gray steel shelves that were mounted to my $15 TelCo Rack from the recycler. The TV shelf and the KBD Drawer/shelf were both fabbed from 18ga stock and are mounted backwards to better protect the TV.
This pic shows the serendipitous sizing of the 6100's birthday suit and the KBD Drawer. The support return might, or might not, be the correct size, the KBD Drawer's sides were a tad overbent and the returns are a nominal 1/2" on a carcass that's a bit under 17" wide. The 6100's sheet metal is almost EXACTLY that same tad under 16" wide. Add a pair of 1/2" wide drawer slides and it'll very likely work out just fine!
The slides will be mounted as high as possible on the 6100's shell and flush with the top of the return flanges at the bottom of the KBD Drawer Carcass. Height of slide depending, there should be plenty of room for the KBD assy. in betwixt 6100 and return flange at the top of the KBD Drawer's Face. Luckily I was using 18ga. stock, so I didn't hem the edges of the return flanges. Otherwise I couldn't file/fit the side and top support/stiffener return flanges
This shot shows the spare room at the back of the carcass, with full extension drawer slides sized to match, there might be enough room to service the backplane from above with the drawer fully extended. I'll test it out and just add a longer pair of slides if I want more access room for my grubby little paws.
The PDS will be flipped to the bottom side of the MoBo, in the same config I'm implementing for the SuperIIsi™ in order to make room for the NuBus Adapter topside. The G3 Card, ribbon cable extension and HPV Card will be splayed across the bottom of the MoBo. Th NuBus Adapter will likely have my PAS 16, to egg Bunsen on in his NuBus Audio Workstation Quest.
Everything boils down to the I/O_LamedMehMac jailbreaking project. So we'll see what transpires . . . :-/
edit: I'll definitely be moving the face of the CD back so it's flush with the HDD and FDD RFI sheet metal. The blank for the non-CD equipped FuglyMac6100 will cover the front bezel of the CD in keeping with the Junkyard Hacks design language detailing.
Are we on the same page yet, EudiG? :?:
