Finally gathered nerve and mounted Gotek Oled screen below cursor keys on my STE

[Nolium]

I think it turned out really good, Gotek is actually pleasant to use now. I really hated looking at screen through floppy hole, so I decided I'll put it front and center below the cursor keys. Buttons are still in the old place, I don't mind them since the USB stick is also there. I'll probably replace buttons with rotary switch next.

Personally, I'm a big opponent of any case modifications. Still, it's your machine, so you can do as you please. That being said, you did a really great job with it and it looks really nice. I figure I can appreciate it even if I wouldn't want to do it personally. Great job!

Heh, pretty much my thoughts.  A clean job even if it does make me 😬a bit : )

 

Having the displays on the side is definitely not optimal, but I went with solutions like this where required.

Yeah, I had the same feelings, so I tried non case altering methods fist. I found them all clumsy and very limited, OK for a occasional use.

On Amiga you can level it with that case notch, on Atari it just sticks out like an ugly zip. It looks really great without any case modification.

I did this with one of my ST's.  I like it fine.  Of course, with my limited skills (actually patience) any attempt to integrate the OLED becomes a hack job.
