For me too ;-) Always the hardest part for me. I've cut out the rectangular
'strips' with the ports from both cases, planning to glue the 475 bit into
the hole in the 512k's case. But the chassis seems to slope a little towards
the back, so the ports end up extremely 'low'. Perhaps I'll have to adjust
the chassis somewhat, in order to have the ports where I want them.
And another thing: it would of course be a lot neater to have the monitor
cable directly soldered to the mobo, but I don't have the pinouts nor the
necessary experience/skill with a soldering iron. So the cable is still
running round the back :-(
Greetings, Jan
