@PhilC Looks like it can go about 3cm.. but is that going to be enough anyway..

I would have thought so but can't say exactly until I'd try it

Ok, this is where the plug would be if it was moved along 30mm

Looks to me as ending on the 13th pin row in from the back of the machine, to be safe, or any further back if possible.

If you say 20mm next, I swear I will drive up there and :chairsmack: :chairsmack: :chairsmack:

Image to dark to see :p

You could just center the connector between the keyboard and rear connector and tell me what looks best ;). I guess 20mm or 18mm is about as good as it can be...

So how would you like me to measure it? From the left edge as per photo of how?

I need to know how far apart the left sides of the IDE connectors are.. whatever is the ideal measurement I can move it on the PCB by..

@exxos 22mm from left corner in photo to IDE header pins.
