All good info, but how do you physicaly mount the Delfina card in a case?

I have an A3000D with X-SurfII. I will be connecting it to the clockport.

Which begs the answer to another question. Does a clockport cable come with the Delfina or do I have to buy one?

From what I can see, this board does not have any means to physicaly mounting it!

I think it comes with the clockport cable, as for mounting I was thinking of something along the lines of a bit of metal and some sticky pads in one of the free slots  :lol:

The card comes with a clockport cable but it is not very long, about 10cm. You have to use a bit of imagination since there are only two mounting holes on the card.

See picture here. The connector on the far left is for the clockport cable. Also remember to plug in the cable the right way! The package has instructions included.

Looks like the best thing I can do is jig a piece of plastic to a blanking plate in the slot about the Buddha and do some sort of custom mount there, seems a little bit toytown lol, I just hope it's worth it!

Don't want to scare you Robert but I'm wondering how reliable this supplier Vesalia is? There website looks pretty professional and I'm tempted to buy a Delfina myself for just £90 compared to the original £250 the old Petsoff version went for. But I don't want to get scalped like those poor guys and the PPC scam. How soon are you expecting delivery and can you come on here and brag your ass when you get it! cheers

Well, it'll be in the new year I think, as I payed by paypal but had to use Echeque, as the £200 I spent wasn't enough to do a direct transfer apparently lol, I ordered a whole bundle of stuff so I'll let ya know how I get on.

I have ordered stuff from Vesalia a few times and the delivery is fast (about one week) if they have the items in stock.

Thanks for that reassurance. I've just looked at the jpg of the card posted above and the quality looks so much better than the original version - I'm very tempted now so I think I'll ask about stock and order myself a Christmas present if they have them.
