I was a diehard Amiga enthusiast and I've always missed having drive activity LEDS.

Since last week I've been fooling around ( and getting positive results ) with cooling down the 4,1 cMP's Northbridge chip with a USB fan whose cable I ran THROUGH a spare cMP 2,1 side cover which I cut a 5mm slot for the cable to run behind the 4,1 and up to a spare PCIe USB card's slot.

My Samsung 970 EVO's PCIe adaptor has a 2 pin power connector and I had a spare green mini LED so . . . .

voila !

I give you an Amigatized cMP :)

( I have absolutely no other use for the 2,1 cMP spare side cover & the LED is a visual alert to any illicit data movement. )
