Apologies if this information is somewhere else and i havn't found it.

What sort of power does the Stand alone need?  I'm guessing bugger all, although been reading about PICO psu's and there interesting.

The recently announced 500 Vampire case has piqued my interest, my old 1200 has been in the loft......

for

a

while.............

.........and i get the horrible feeling that..well you know what.

Thanks, so im guessing a "sleep" function would be available?

Want a new Amiga, but i 'll leave THAT power brick in the 80's thank you.

(Did keep your feet warm though.)

maybe if wrote it is in custom rom but the os would need a program to know what sleep is. maybe bit pointless though since amiga boots in same about time a windows pc comes from sleep if its lightweight 3.1 distro (5 seconds), maybe few more seconds if based upon 3.9. A bit more time is needed if the os has many plugins like Amikit real 9 (about 30 secs to desktop) or coffin os (r49 about 5 to 10 secs to desktop).
 
  If can give a good use case, the apollo team might implement it.

5 Second boot time would be very desirable.

Would the Vampire be able to power the floppy drive?
Yes its old, but its part of the experience.
