Reproduction Slingshot
« on: January 27, 2010, 03:51:14 AM »
Has anyone done this?  The slingshot looks like it would be easy and cheap to copy... assuming the edge connectors are still available.

Isn't the connector the same as for example, and ISA or Zorro connector, just a different number of pins?  Could one be easily hacked together by cutting the ends of of two of them and lining them up right?

If someone were to make a batch of these, how many people would be interested in one?  What's a decent price to pay for one?

The amiga hardware guide says that the pass-through version has limited use because of the absence of a buster chip.  What can be plugged into the pro version?  Is it worth having the pro version with the card standing up, or would it be more practical to have the zorro card flat because a pass-through connector would be sort of useless?

Same questions for the finland ide adapter.

I'm saying this because I may have found someone to make a batch for us.
