Yes, definitely cumbersome with changing jumpers. However, I have plans to build an external jumper switch-box for all controllable jumpers (audio/ video/ motherboard) when everything is finalised, hopefully. Otherwise, I personally wouldn't bother to open the case to change jumpers.
I had exactly the same idea. But I want it as a DIP switch on the front. And only for the turbo settings.
I did wonder if there is a plug and play solution. But guess there isn't. So it's DIY time.
Did you finish it? I'm curious and would like to see the result.
Hmm, I remember this post. This idea was for my AT beige cases, and having an external switch box that I could move around between them, and not having to modify the cases. The plan was to standardise internal wiring in the cases, then using something like a DB25 connector, hook up the external switch box.
The DIP switch idea is also great and did cross my mind as well. It's discrete, too.
My original plan took a back burner as I converted a modern ATX case to AT format instead. This case also has an external flap that hides four 5 1/4 drive bays, and I'm prepared to modify the case, and use the drive bay fascia to house some funky toggle switches. They'd be discrete behind the case flap. I have all the parts - just need to finish the project.
