How to install a Delfina Flipper in an A1200

[JHanna]

I have had this card for a while but can't find any proper info as to how to install it. The official guide is only 2 pages long and is very hard to understand.

Had anyone got one of these that could send me a photo of exactly which way it connects to the clock port?

Thank you!

Some info

• AmiOracle guide thread
• Icomp wiki page (including clockport install pictures)

So a question to anyone who knows.

Many resources quote that there's a delfina flipper breakout card for it.

From amiga.resource.cx:

optional Flipper module

• simply attaches to the Delfina module
• expands the Delfina with digital SP-DIF connectors
• MIDI In and MIDI Out connectors - can be programmed independently of each other
• Zorro II and PCI connectors

Was this ever made?

I don't think I've ever seen one...

No picture I'm sorry.

But this is how the manual describes it

The red marker of the clockport cable must face towards the accelerator baord of the A1200 (away
from PCMCIA). On the Delfina, the red marker must face to the 26-pin connector (up, see diagram).

and this might help you to actually use it software wise. I might it work that way (its translated from German)

No

Thank you! This question has been driving me nuts!

One thing is that icomps material pretends it exists, but it's frustrating that both bboah and amiga.resource.cx doesn't have any history notes stating that it was planned but never delivered.

I suspected as much, but the many references to it and that many sites call the card the "Delfina flipper" (my box from icomp calls it that!) is confusing to me.
