For Sale: Vampire 500 to A2000 Adapters

[Acill]

Due to a very nice member that asked to be unnamed that donated to me in thanks for vampire adapters I've decided to eat the extra cost to ship them over seas. They are now $35 shipped worldwide

Better get your adapters ready. Apparently a large 4th batch/complete catch-up on V500 orders is imminent...     http://majsta.com

Heh, I'm making them as I get orders. Won't be an issue!

Discovered these can be used by a lot more than Vampires for the CPU slot. Also tested with a TF530 and a IDE68000 home made accelerator.

Also just for fun an A1000 Spirit Insider RAM board.

New parts are back in stock and are ready for sale! The new boards are now gold plated and look fantastic! Price is still $35 shipped worldwide.

Do I have to remove the CPU from the 68K motherboard socket if I stick a processor or 68k socket based accelerator?

Can the say a Vampire be fitted onto your board along with the 68k in the motherboard socket?

On the A2000, you must remove the CPU if you put a Vampire card in the CPU slot.

You must remove it. The Vampire takes over the system and this adapter is just a mirror of the 68000 socket. Its main use is for easy of access to the vampire and not having to pull the machine all the way apart to change things.

Couldn't the card just disable the onboard cpu by setting one pin high?

MAybe, but I wanted to get these out at a fair price and reduce the cost as much as I could. Shiipping alone is $13 for me to send them to europe. I pay about $5 a board to have them made in the USA, the parts for them are another $2-3 and I have to buy packing material and take them to the post office. At $35 shipped each that doesnt leave any room for much else. I am basically doing all the labor free too.

The point was to get them out to the people that wanted to use them for the vampire in an A2000 and do it in a way that the most people needing them could afford it. I am not interesting in making massive money, its not why I do this sort of stuff for those that have followed my work. The fact they are also useful for other boards is a bonus.
