Warp12 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I bought a beautiful Falcon last year. But, The casing has some small mods (holes, and a notch). Are these cases, aside from color, the same as any other Atari model? If so, what model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umberto Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Bottom is specific to the Falcon, the top is the same as a Ste 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuf Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) The floppy in particular is different. You have to make some cuts to fit an STe in a Falcon case for example. I also remember having to shear off a post or two in there (I put an STe in a Falcon case loooong ago). Edited May 31, 2019 by tuf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikro Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Right, the top is reusable apart from the floppy drive hole. Edited June 6, 2019 by mikro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oracle_jedi Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Maybe someone with a 3D printer could make up some STF/E drive slot "shims". Basically a hollow rectangle that you glue over the modded drive bay hold to hide the less-than-machine-accurate cuts made with a drill bit and xacto knife. Would be handy for anyone replacing a failed ST drive with an industry standard 3.5 unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
