Hello Mates,

now that I've seen some people seems interested inthe delfina flipper board, I'll start answering questions.

@Lemp:

The board is not really big, it has a rectangle shape but the included cable to connect is not very long. As I do not have a scandoubler (internal) nor a mediator I can't tell on that, however, I have a powerflyer but as I stated in my review, I connectred the delfina to my VarI/O's clockport, I'd say that the hole the powerflyer leaves to access the clockport on the A1200 motherboard is not big enough to allow the connector fit inside... I will confirm this later though.

@Jiffy: The board will fit, but you have to take very much care of it as to what isolating it matters, any contact with the parts in the motherboard will fry the a1200 mobo or the delfina itself. You will have to remove the metal shielding inside the A1200 to make it fit properly. One more thing you must be aware of is that you have to make it fit so that you have access to the RCA type audio outputs of the board (maybe using a cable to access it and getting that cable out of the machine via the rear trapdoor of the 1200 near the mouse port). The same for inputs.. (the board does NOT have RCA type inputs), all inputs are cdrom-audio-like ports/connectors.


Regarding the software, well... I haven't been able to, but the new delfina library has been released and this version is suposed to fix the I/O problem I talked about in my review (the fault resides in the delfina library, yes... not in Michael Henke's programs as it's stated there, however at that moment he found a workaround). That's a big problem, the old delfina library versions caused a lot of I/O problems with serial port/ scsi controllers/ etc... the other problem (caused by the same problem in the delfina library) is random crashes wen playing mp3 using any program (amigaamp, amplifier, delfmpeg, etc).. this problem is suposed to be fixed too, I will report if the new library works fine ornot this weekend or next week.

Feel free to shot any more questions you have,

Cheers
