| Sales of the new Icedrake card for A1200 started. EXTERNAL LINK
 The card is brand new and offer you: * Apollo 68080 CPU
* Performance is application dependent up to ~ 1000MHz 68030 / 500MHz 68040 / 250MHz 68060
* 512 MB DDR3 Memory
* FastKick
* Super-AGA GFX Core : Truecolor DIGITAL VIDEO OUT
* 3D Acceleration Unit
* 2 FastIDE/DVD/CompactFlash Controllers
* SDcard for Data exchange
* 2 USB ports (mouse/Joypad with CD32 emulation)
* RJ45 100BaseTX Ethernet 100MBit with DMA
* plug for RTC module Current Limitations and state of the card.
1) PCMCIA devices are supported.
2) the A1200 mainboard IDEcontroller is currently not support, please connect your boot drive to the faster ICEDRAKE connector.
3) Amiga display promotion to DIGITAL-VIDEO. This is a new feature which works automatically - in some cases there can still be some glitches. The video promotion defaults to PAL, if you have an NTSC A1200 this can cause some artifacts. A software update to fix this is in the works.

| Hi Gunnar, It would be very convenient if the shop could also sell the necessary add-on cables for this such as the angled hdmi cable and RJ45 ethernet cable, perhaps even a 3D printed cover for the rear slot on the A1200 to house all these cables.

The Icedrake comes with USB cable included and CF adapter also included.
A Kit for the A1200 rearslot is also in production - the shop expects to get them in 2 weeks

| Hi, I have a question about the back kit.
I have an ordered card and an RTC module. The back cover would also fit. Would it be possible to pay for it so that it all came at once and you didn't have to pay twice the postage to the Czech Republic? Thanks.

| I updated my Icedrake to the latest core today (ice_8681.jic) but now the red jumper kickstart switch doesn't work. On both settings (open & closed) it uses the ApolloOS boot screen and ignores my Kickstart 3.2.1 roms on the motherboard. Is there a way to re-enable it?

| My Icedrake arrived today, after a little faff from UPS. Once the ApolloOS CF card arrives (ordered separately, doh!) I will give it a blast. Looking forward to it, and finally next-gen-ifying my Amiga 20 years after the waste of time vapourware SharkPPC. I will be writing an article on the card (and Apollo generally) for APoV, so I will likely be in touch for info and pics.

| I've tried e-mailing last week and a couple of times in discord so I'll ask here. I ordered an Icedrake on the 26th (#10456) and I'm still waiting for shipping. I know you're very busy with the orders so that's no problem at all. I just want to ask if I can add the backpanel expansion to the same order and have them shipped together when everything is available. I just want to avoid paying 35EUR shipping twice when they're probably going to be sent within a few days of each other.

Why?
You're definitely going to get what you ordered. They're not going to rip you off. You just need to be patient. Unfortunately COVID is the new reality and these people have day jobs, so you're just going to have to deal with it. They have already apologized for the delay, accept it.

| Just you know, with paying for something, and then the date gets pushed back again and again, its not a pre-order.
