I think that's going to make a lot of people unhappy. Joe had the SCSI bit listed as an add-on, and I bet a lot of people were thinking they could add SCSI later. He should have sold them as "Typhoon" and "Typhoon with SCSI" with the price reflecting the difference in configuration.

I agree that this was not specific enough about the SCSI add-on and should have been listed as two separate cards (SCSI card - Non-SCSI card).  

Most who are not aware that the SCSI option is basically the 50 pin connector and the SCSI controller chip that is soldered on the board.  

This should be its own thread, but I will ask it any way.  To the technically inclined, could this be added later?  Is there any firmware chips that would have to be updated for the SCSI controller to be recognized on the card?

Having the Typhoon card hanging out the bottom of the case doesn't really suit me, as I don't have a nice flat desktop to dedicate to the A1200. Plus it feels like this board could use a heatsink or fan and I don't feel like hacking something together. Anyone want to trade an accel that does fit fully inside the A1200? Or one of those RAM+FPU+RTC boards?

Those non-SCSI units were received by Joe last week, and should have been shipped.  The questions are simply:

1) How many of these boards are being received by Joe per week?

2) How many folks are in line to receive them?  

It would be nice to know exactly where we are in line and what the estimated receipt time.  Fore example, if Joe is only receiving 3 boards a week and there is 30 folks in line and your number 30, then you can expect that it will take at least 10 weeks for your board to become available.  Not rocket science, but just estimating delivery time.

I received an email from Joe this afternoon:

"I have now been able to fill all the non scsi orders. GVP has the boards finished and is just waiting on a delivery of the scsi chip which should be here Tuesday. My goal is to ship the remaining scsi 1200 accel backorders on this coming Wednesday."

Yeap, that was what he told me today as well.  Joe offered to ship me the non-scsi Typhoon today, and to have it upgraded later, but I'll just wait for them to be completed.  I think we are getting closer to the finish line.:)

Joe still hasn't replied to my request for a refund, and no refund has been issued. In fact, he hasn't responded to any of the messages I've sent over the last few weeks. I don't want to sour my relationship with one of the last remaining Amiga dealers by initiating a chargeback, but I also don't like that Joe has been sitting on my $250 for the last two months. If he doesn't have product to ship, that money should be sitting in my interest bearing accounts, not his. :-/

@Trev

Not sure you still need or want the card, but here is what Joe sent me yesterday.  I'm sure he is going to fill your order next week given that the scsi chips are secured and the boards completed.

We just received in a delivery today so I now have plenty of stock  without scsi, but the scsi chip needed will be delayed until  Wednesday of next week. Do you want to wait for this or go without  scsi? Because of the design it needs to be soldered to the board so  it will not be easy to add at a later date (probably need to send in  your board for the upgrade)
I believe Joe is working hard with GVP to deliver this very unique production run.  I have been associated in other retro production runs and believe me it can take a while given most of the work was done by hand.  We will get our boards soon.

Right on time, got here today. It looks great. Joe wrote a note in there and said sorry for the delay, we bumped you up to and 50Mhz model for the inconvience. I posted two pics in the gallery. I don't know why they say E-MATRIX? Don't care. The whole thing was odd to me because GVP never made a card named Typhoon, but DCE did?

I'd say that these are in fact:

Oh well, all good to me...

Joe still hasn't responded, so I have no idea what's going on with my order. If he ships me the card, and I don't use it, I'll probably turn it around for what I paid for it.

E-Matrix = M-Tec; Viper = DCE name for the same product as the link says.
