Atari 65XE 130XE 800XE Ultimate 1MB U1MB Bracket

[Overange]

Friday rainy day project = Fit Ultimate 1MB into my 65XE Remake.

 

Not being happy with the pillar style of mounting the U1MB and that I was only able to find a mounting bracket for the 800XL ( Jeff Thiele Design ), using this as a basis I designed one specifically for the XE models.

 

Like the 800XL version, it only uses the one PCB mount screw to hold it in place, it also has a very small bump to locate it into the RF sheild PCB through hole and to hold it square.

 

Being offset means you can still unscrew it from the main XE PCB with out having to unmount the U1MB from the Mount.

 

I have uploaded the STL to Thingiverse for those wanting to print their own.

Interresting. Though, U1MB is usually mounted rotated 90 degrees to the right, over the modulator (or a space where it usually is).

Good job anyway.

Thanks, I did take this into consideration and you can mount it however you wish.

Thanks to everyone for the info. I finally got my Ultimate 1MB installed without having to do any drilling or soldering thanks to the bracket above and this:

In addition to everyone who was kind enough to share info on here I also owe a big thanks to Pawel Mandes who made the sally adapter for his help when I made installation errors.
