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):

The F122 is cavernous inside!

That is why you strip it down for desk space.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

As is most of the space underneath F1-F24.
