doesn't solve my ultimate issue though. a vampire is no going to fit with the megachip board :~( ....

Not sure how it compares size-wise, but I know a Megachip board fits inside an A500 with a VXL*30 accelerator (which is a pretty honkin' big card), just have to use an extra set of riser pins on the 68000 socket.

Might be more tricky with the Vampire because of that IDE header sticking out of the top.  Maybe in conjunction with one of the adapters that brings the 68000 socket further back inside the case?

Have you checked on any of the dev forums?  I'm sure someone who owns this combination can offer some suggestions for getting it to fit.  Good luck!  :)
