Luke,
First thing will be building a 3d model of the board using FreeCAD. Not very easy to do accurately with the info I currently have. More photos and dimensional information would certainly be welcome!
I'll keep this list in the loop.
Kind regards,
Mark

PLEASE KEEP ON-TOPIC on this subject, until at least 1st april, thx
question from mark so clarifying here, he asked "what mounting holes can be used from the PCB" and there aren't any, mark.
the stack that was done 2 years ago the micro-desktop PCB was "loose" inside the case, using close-fitting to ensure it didn't move about too much.
if you review the photos on crowdsupply (i have some more somewhere... chris can you remember where they are, after you did those beautiful drawings?) you can see that there are 4 screws which keep the entire stack together, these do *not* go through the PCB.
the baseline stack height is 3mm.
the new USB connector is 6mm high
the VGA connector and PJ-045 (DC jack) i believe are both 9mm
the micro-sd card slot (on the bottom, other end) is 2mm
the EOMA68 (PCMCIA) is 6mm.
so it all works out pretty well: you end up in some cases with two halves per horizontal stack but that's fine because there are 2 screws each side to hold them together.
what i can do, mark, is if we get the DXF files sorted i can turn them into 3D-printed "things" and then do a video (which you can publish on your website, yay!).
we can do a few rounds at it.
