The Vampire V4 is ready and shipping now, no more back orders. I got mine a few months ago, fantastic machine. Last edited by DiscreetFX on 30-Jan-2021 at 10:14 PM.

What about the wedge keyboard form factor? I seem to remember some crowd source project that was planning on producing them.

| Whem ICOMP announced their A1200 clone it was quite basic system, with nice advantages. Price was about 200€, latter they expanded it more advance adding stuff to it and price was upped to 400€.
I was very interested first version, but not so much latter one.

I don't understand why the A1200 is held up as the Holy Grail to be honest. Any reproduction should have a 030 50 Mhz as a minimum with access to CD/DVD drive ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB, none of which the A1200 has out of the box! Dream a bit bigger people

Why citing yet another Walker like 68030 CPU solution which has similar IPC (instructions per clock) as 68020?
68LC060 level CPU should be the minimum. Perhaps Buffee CPU + FPGA AGA chipset + A1200 expansion slot (for future A1200 accelerator cards) would do the job.
The main assets for A1200 motherboard are the internal expansion slot for the end-user A1200 accelerator card selection and Amiga chipset compatibility.
Vampire V4 is a dead-end device like an Android phone i.e. it lacks the proper desktop computer behavior with expansion slots and upgradable CPU.
