Atari ST internal storage? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Does anybody have any experience of trying to fit internal storage into their ST? I'd prefer to have everything all in one unit drawing from the internal PSU if possible. I'm using a 1040 STFM.

I've seen references to a product called Lightning ST which has a wiki page but no indication of whether or where it is for sale.

I've also found this project: https://github.com/agranlund/STBlitter_RevA but no reviews or information from people who have built it.

If you have tried it, what kind of clearance issues did you have? Did you run without shielding? Did you cut parts of the shielding away? How does it fit with other expansions e.g. 4mb RAM?
