A recent review of the A1222+ PowerPC board designed jointly by AmigaKit, AAA Technologies and ACube Systems:
@codewiz Unfortunately your problems are what I've come to expect from stuff from AmigaKit over the years. I don't hate the company or anything, but I think they're overextended and it creates products with these kinds of drawbacks. Sadly, I had an issue with an RMA with them that went on for like multiple years, with them ghosting me for months at a time, so anything from them is off my radar by design. I'd love a PPC accelerator for my A1200 tho, that's so cool.
@GabeMoralesVR Rather than a PPC accelerator, how about a 68040 emulator peaking at 1000 MIPS?
I bought this at AmiWest for my A4000 in Italy, but I might end up plugging it into an A3000 here in the US if I manage to repair it:

@codewiz Well I actually did have a Vampire in my A1200 for a while which let me run the so-called 68080 core.
@GabeMoralesVR Ah. Why did you pull it out?
@codewiz Faulty edge connector for the trap door pinout, you had to get it juuuuuust right and then if you breathed on the machine it'd lose contact. Tried to RMA and they sat on it for multiple years ignoring my emails or give me excuses like "we're working on it." Shipped it back Sept 18th 2018 and didn't get a refund until October 19th, 2019 after I told them I didn't even want it anymore, I just wanted my money back. It took making a topic on EAB blasting them before they said OK.
@GabeMoralesVR Hope it's not a trend. I placed a small order with AmigaKit some time ago and it still hasn't been fulfilled.
@codewiz Unfortunately when I made my topic about them ghosting me on EAB, a lot of people told me this wasn't uncommon, which is why I stopped using them.
