My Nucore Installation - Using Original Case

Post by applejuice »

Thought i'd share some pics of my nucore project. Decided to use an original case and see if could mount everything without massive changes to the case or cutting huge holes into it. Think i've managed this ok and am well happy with the result. I'm using ribbon cables to external headers for the vga, parallel, usb connections etc pretty much like the original setup was configured. Will be using an internal header usb connection for the new usb board.

Just waiting for the Ultimarc Arcade VGA 3000 card and then i'm ready to plug into my machine. Nucore software installed perfectly without any issues.

Very cool. How are you planning to support the arcadevga when you install it?
