Leif & others On internal mount,,,,
Why not Solder up another connector to the back of the c64/vic20/c128's IEC
port? Then a Mating cord to the uIEC that will give you the ability to
Disconnect it if there is a problem situation...as well as easily remove it for
for a stand alone or other use that may pop up in the future? Flexibility is
key here!

This is what I was planning to do with my uIEC sometime - install it
inside my VIC-20 as an internal device #10, but keep the external IEC
port so I can still use external drives at the same time.
In theory, this should work fine - it would be no different than using
an IEC "Y" splitter cable (which do exist). But I haven't tried
it.
Could someone with more electronics knowledge comment?
