Yep. These are being soldered and shipped by majsta alone (I believe kipper2k is soldering for his orders) so anything more than 2 a week is good going. I am not holding my breath, but this year would be nice.
 
Hi all, I must say that lately I didn't had too much time to solder but this will change. As you probably know I m working on multiple projects in parallel and that takes a lot of time. Same time I need to solder and work on other models of Vampire. Situation now is that I can solder one Vampire card in half an hour but problem is to find that half an hour :) I know that you are impatient but more and more good news will come when all settle.
 
I need a very slim hdmi (to go inside the A600) and a standard size one for the monitor. The one he shows seems to be standard on both ends? Does he use an adapter? Not very clear.
 
i think mini hdmi or micro hdmi might of fitted better on vampire 2 has people reporting when connect cable pops the vampire off the cpu has tight fit.

That has more to do with the dimension and stiffness of the cable and less than of the connector being used. I found a thin and rather flexible HDMI cable which I think should be suitable. I guess I'll find out when I receive my board. Also, the cable could be tied to something in the correct position to relieve any stress from the Vampire board.
 
Which one does the Vampire have? Micro or mini? I would like to buy before hand. Any links to the best hdmi cable (from people who already have their boards) would be great.

Cheers

Ah good find, I was looking for something like this. Compact, slim, short and M2F.
And yes, trydowave, it's full size HDMI.

On my side I will try to build something with this extension:

Maybe will use the extension door with a 3D printed model...
Male side on that one looks too bulky if you still have floppy drive. (It also looks a bit stiff.)
But 3d printed backplate has crossed my mind too. But maybe there's a bit less space there than you remember.

The wide female mount with screws in your link would come very close to the PSU connector.

Hmm.. good visual point you have there. Maybe we should go with a mini HDMI connector then? and also leave room for USB that way.
 
Thanks eXeler0. I can't see your picture on my phone but will check later from computer. I got your point though... For the price of the cable I'd thought I would give it a go, even if I need to modify it... Or to keep it for the Vampire II for A1200 haha.
 
I don't have my V2 as of yet, but I just got an HDMI cable which I think will be suitable. The connectors are small and the cable is thin and flexible:

I then intend on putting a gender changer in the RF modulator location, hoping I can secure it there somehow:

I already tried that with a gender changer glued on the rf port but the lead end fouls on the IDE Port ! that's why I ordered the Mini H/F HDMI cable in my earlier post
 
its fine... my A600 is sitting right on the desk next to my main PC monitor... it isn't going anywhere... ill just organise it in a way where the cable doesn't get snagged.
