One of the issues I see with this design, is it's awkward shape when trying to fit it to the A1200 motherboard. Pushing expansion cards onto the A1200 edge is hard enough at the best of times, let alone trying to find somewhere for your fingers to push against.
This is only a mockup of a board so we are discussing something that may not end up looking as it is but if you look at photographs of Blizzard 12x0 boards, you will notice that they are approximately 1.5 times longer than the width of the connector. The wing-shaped v1200 is only about as long as it is wide which means that contrary to the old accelerator cards there will be lots of space inside the A1200's expansion slot for handling the card.

Since this is only a prototype that isn't even completely routed yet, you can only guess.

I actually thought it was a functional prototype

What I think is really cool news that was posted to the Apollo Team Facebook page is it seems the guys here have sourced a company to make brand new A1200 expansion connectors for the A1200 Vampire.
I know many don't like Facebook links, but here it is: EXTERNAL LINK

Could someone please share a picture of the connector which is hosted elsewhere than facebook?
