This reminds of the Richerfile (or something like that that started with an "R") that told ppl how to add backlight, overclock, etc. But this is like taking that to a whole new level.

Richfiles is some good stuff. Nearly done with the painting; I'll be starting putting everything together soon.

This looks awesome.
I'd be interested in doing something like that; maybe you should write a tutorial.

The camera I'm using is a horrid webcam.
Anyway, pix in an hour or two! I got it all reassembled.

So needless to say, I didn't get the new pix up.
Among other things though, I'm modding up a mini PS/2 mouse to match the calculator, and I decided to redo the CSA slightly to make it brighter.
Edit:
Sunday, January 7, 2007
I finished up some various things this evening, rewired a new switch for the CSA mod into the battery compartment, then completed the tedious process of reassembling the calculator. I managed to get keys from a spare calculator that were actually smaller than the keys from the one I was using, those they do stick or jam on the now slightly-narrowed key aperture walls. Pix below.
Monday, January 8, 2007
This morning I tested the PS/2 port to ensure it was still functioning properly; both keyboards and mice seemed to work fine. I found an old IBM mini PS/2 mouse lying around, sanded it down, and gave it two coats of my dark red glossy paint. Next, I masked off the first of the two silver stripes and painted it. The second stripe shall be added tomorrow. Pix:
The second silver stripe on the slide case:
The masked-off minimouse:
Three views of the completed front, although key labels are still absent:
For the key lables, I'm considering getting a red and a silver pen and writing in silver on red areas and red on silver areas. I'm also strongly considering varnishing the whole shebang - any suggestions on varnish?

This may be far out of the question, but have you considered getting in touch with ZiLog? Putting a 20 mhz z80 in there would kick some serious @$$
