Oh, sounds nice! I wonder where I can get a custom A1200 case? I'd like a white one because it's similar to my current Amiga 1200 which also needs a new V1200 accelerator...

| There was a kickstarter, I don't know if there will be more production runs or if they have some left over though. EXTERNAL LINK

Yes. I've been watching Amigastore.eu for availability of the new cases.

I'v been doing the same for months (missed the Kickstarted campaing) and been taking a look of their web page for a while. Interestingly yesterday availability went from "sold out" to "pre-order". I placed order for few cases and today it's back to "sold out". Must been a mistake and I am not going to see my cases for a while... Let's see if they will contact me next week and cancel my order...

| Although that connector is a PCI style one, electrically it's nothing to do with the PCI bus standard as used there. It's just the A1200 expansion bus on an alternative connector. BigGun did say it wasn't related to vampire or standalone (it could still be Apollo + A1200 related under some other name though, Phoenix has been used in the past, but I'm being ultra speculative there). I still expect the final production A1200 Apollo Accelerator to have an on-board 150 pin slot connector at this stage.

| I know this is just a PIN adapter. My question was about Vampire 1200 connector, if that will be with original A1200 connector or "PCI" connector.

No, its a regular web-link to kippers homepage. Anyway, adapter connects to A1200 connector then its rewired to a second connector with a physical PCI interface, but electrically, nothing is missing. All signals are there from the A1200 connector. Kipper said nothing specifically about Vampire 1200 (last time I heard, anyway), but did say that with this connector it is much easier for hobbyists to produce their own A1200 cards. Finally the connector is a "properly oriented" one, instead of "inverted" like commodore did to save a few dollars.

Wow! That is a nice PCI connector for the A1200 accelerator slot. I wonder what will go there? :-)

Same here. Contributed to the keycap kickstarter and ordered the case as well. Looks awesome. Can't wait until the Vampire 1200 is released as well as the case and keycaps. EXTERNAL LINK

| That's the same setup I've ordered as well. Thank goodness the RMI v2 is setup now, and "orders" can be placed! :) I too of course am waiting for when the Vampire 1200 comes out - hence why the purchase of the case and keys. I've a question though, did you got for Apollo on the Space bar? I have.

I did. I also ordered an extra set without just in case.
