I've got a couple of Eiffel adaptors, will check it all out and see, thanks Paul.

The Mega keyboard feels better, but the signal and protocol is exactly the same as the internal ST one, the connector is just different. They use 4 pins, RX/TX, which is 5V TTL serial interface running at 7812.5 baud, 5V power and finally a ground pin. The ST one has an extra 5th pin for the disk activity LED IIRC.

The Mega ST keyboard uses Cherry MX Black switches compared to the membrane on the STFM keyboard. AtariComputing did a post on the Mega ST switches https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=944keli wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2019 3:27 pm The Mega keyboard feels better, but the signal and protocol is exactly the same as the internal ST one, the connector is just different.

Again its hi-lighted a few areas for improvements in the files.

Hi. I am not quite sure what you are trying to do based on your description.Lastic wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2019 6:15 am Good morning,
I'm in the midst of enhancing an Atari 130XE with an Ultimate 1MB expansion , 3.5" internal diskdrive on the righthand side and Midi ports on the lefthand side with an SIO2MIDI as shown here https://ataribits.weebly.com/midi.html
As such I was considering using the ST bottom case Midi ports standoff to insert into my 130XE case.
Since it's a bit of excessive and a shame to use an ST bottom case just for this part, would you mind sharing just this part's 3D model ?
3D printing it is a more cost-effective solution if I could use it. Both me and my 130XE would be eternally gratefull .
