From OSHPark, yes. Takes the per board cost from ~$5 down to under $3 each.

Helps if you clip out the interior braces on the top header.

I'd be in for one as well.

I'm interested too! I'm always trying to get a cleaner picture from my A1000, and if this bypasses the Vidiot then it's probably the best you can get without building a device to support straight-up digital output from Denise.

I use a fab a friend of mine owns and may be able to get them for a good price if we can get it to 20 boards. I can ask and see once I return home from Spain on the 14th. They will be made in the US and wont have to be purple. Can do them in Red, blue, white, black, green or yellow.

What's the difference between the Indi ECS V1 and V2?

V2 emulates OCS/ECS Denise completely, where V1 requires your Denise piggybacked on top. V2 also has a built in scaler, which seems to be of better quality than any of the LCD monitors I’ve used.

V2 doesn’t support any of the neat “hacks” written for indivision adapters like the ADoom INDIGFX tooltip or the P96 drivers for (slow) RTG.

Their footprints are roughly the same, other than the missing Denise on the V2.

That's sad about the RTG and direct framebuffer access -- although, maybe someone will figure out how with the new V2 (it's not documented, so good luck). RTG is vastly superior on the Vampire anyway.

However, the normal "Grafitti" modes are still present for chunky-via-planar graphics and I agree with the scalar -- the output of the V2 on my LCD is razor sharp with no signs of interlacing, even on "just analog".
