IBM 122 Case Space to put Raspberry Pi in?
« on: Sat, 04 January 2014, 22:01:57 »
I have a 122 in the mail. I have three questions:

1. Is there enough room in the case to put a teensy?

2. Is there enough room in the case for a raspberry pi?

3. Is there enough room in the case for a raspberry pi, a teensy, and a USB hub?

Thanks

I don't know but it sounds like a good idea...a modern Commodore knock off. ;)

Don't know what the commodore is, but I got this idea from some person who put a pi in a dolch g80-1800. Then I bought a 11900 thinking it would fit, but its too small :confused:

Luckily the 122 seems big enough

I'm assuming F122. Why? Because that's all I have for reference.

1. Room for a Teensy? God, yes. If that's all you wanted to put in, the amount of space is like a palace for that Teensy!
2. Room for the Raspberry Pi? Yes. to the right of the function keys and above the numpad (actually, it's above the home, end, etc "six pack" because of the shape of the metal plate and the built in feet), there is a space that looks like it would fit a Raspberry Pi comfortably. That doesn not take into consideration the cables, so you might have to solder them directly to the Pi instead of using the ports.
3. Room for both? You can fit the Teensy just about anywhere, so yeah.
3.5 And a USB hub? Likely it can fit beneath the metal, but not there the controller is.

4. The Commodore 64? The system that was a computer built inside a keyboard? (or the keyboard built into the system's case, depending on how you look at it):

1. Yes.

The F122 is cavernous inside!

That is why you strip it down for desk space.
"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

As is most of the space underneath F1-F24.
