GTT38A PC Bay Installation (USB Version)
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2016 2:36 am
This thread is for parts that maybe needed to install this display into a PC 5.25 bay. This type of cable don't seem to be that common. (Installation/modification at your own risk)
*USB/Motherboard cable cheap. (back in stock 26/09/2016).

Here is what I use for Keypad Extension cable (Note: you need to find 8 pin Male to Male adaptor at Keypad end)

Other Notes: Surprisingly Matrix Orbital Keypad KPP4X4 for this display can be back-lit, I missed this part, so I may add this in, as keypad here is removable as it is attached to perspex Acrylic Sheet cut to the same size as the keypad itself & is attached inside the PC via Velcro.
Anyone trying this modification you are going to need frosted white/frosted silk white or gloss white perspex Acrylic Sheet. Not sure which one will work best, but will look into it.
*Here Display must be powered by the floppy connector.
