Solas Board
Select the type of Solas board required based on how you intend to install the board in your Amiga.
Solas Manual Link
DIY kit options are also available.
£50
A1200-mounted Solas
This board mounts directly on the A1200 motherboard clockport. It is very unlikely to physically fit any other clockport.
£0
£50
Clockport cable connected Solas
This version has a pin header instead of the socket for connecting to the host machine. It is intended for connecting using a clockport cable, e.g. A500 with a clockport adaptor or Zorro machines with clockports on a Zorro card. It is also useful for A1200 systems where fitting directly on the port isn't possible, e.g. towered systems fitted with a Mediator busboard.
Note that the built-in clockport splitter will only work when connected to the standard A1200 motherboard port.
£50
ISA carrier-mounted Solas
This board is intended to be mounted directly on the ISA carrier board designed by Kavanoz. This carrier has a pin header clockport like the A1200, but also sockets for the power and audio connectors. Therefore, this version of Solas has the pins for the audio connector and one of the power connectors mounted on the underside of the board instead.
Note that this presents a significant risk of shorting the power connector if it's used in any configuration other than on the carrier board.
£10
Blue Solas PCB
Bare blue Solas PCB. A BOM will be provided. You can either source your own parts or add on a complete set of parts below.
Note that this requires moderate skill with SMT soldering to build, and a means of programming PIC chips via the Microchip ICSP interface.
£10
Black Solas PCB
Bare black Solas PCB. A BOM will be provided. You can either source your own parts or add on a complete set of parts below.
Note that this requires moderate skill with SMT soldering to build, and a means of programming PIC chips via the Microchip ICSP interface.
£15
Purple Solas PCB
Bare black Solas PCB. A BOM will be provided. You can either source your own parts or add on a complete set of parts below.
Note that this requires moderate skill with SMT soldering to build, and a means of programming PIC chips via the Microchip ICSP interface.
£25
Purple Solas PCB
Complete set of parts for soldering to the bare PCBs listed above (including ICs, connectors and other components), if you'd prefer to not source your own. By default this includes the connectors for the A1200-mounting version of the board - please specify if you want the connectors for a cable- or carrier-connected board instead.
Note that this requires moderate skill with SMT soldering to build, and a means of programming PIC chips via the Microchip ICSP interface.
LED Strip
Select the LED strip(s) required. Solas supports up to two LED strips, and is also compatible with standard PC ARGB LED accessories, should you wish to use those instead.

Standard LED strip
These basic LED strips are intended for use in a standard A1200 case. They use common flexible, self-adhesive LED strips with a cable suitable for Solas. Strip is approximately 46.5cm long with 28 LEDs and a clear coating, cable is approximately 39cm.

Custom strip
£TBD
Some customisation of the standard strips. The length of the cable and length of the LEDs can be customised. Please note your requirements in the comments at the end. Note that the price will have to be confirmed manually.
Extra Clockports Adaptor
The three extra clockports on Solas require additional signals to work. Select a suitable adaptor if required. Note that the extra clockports will only work on the standard A1200 clockport.
Solas Manual Link
DIY kit options are also available.
£0
No adaptor required - Solas is being connected to a non-A1200 clockport, an alternative adaptor is already present, or the extra clockports aren't required

£8
ROM Adaptor for extra clockports
This adaptor fits underneath the U6B Kickstart ROM and provides A14/A15 to a header. Includes suitable cable to connect to Solas.
£10
Gayle adaptor for extra clockports
This adaptor fits on top of the Gayle custom chip and provides the A14/A15 signals to a header. This adaptor also includes a reset header. Includes suitable cable to connect to Solas.
Note: This adaptor is not yet available.
£1
Cable for Gayle adaptor
This is just the cable required to connect from a Gayle adaptor to Solas. Useful if you already have a Gayle adaptor that provides A14/A15 on a standard pin header.
£2
Black ROM adaptor PCB
Bare black PCB for building a DIY ROM adaptor.
Note, through-hole soldering skills required to build this.
£6
Purple ROM adaptor PCB
This is just the cable required to connect from a Gayle adaptor to Solas. Useful if you already have a Gayle adaptor that provides A14/A15 on a standard pin header.
£4
This adds the DIP socket, pin header and cable required to complete the ROM adaptor.
Temperature Sensors
Solas supports up to two LM35-type sensors, and can use these to report temperatures in a commodity on Workbench as well as controlling the fan speed. These have a sticky thermal pad for attaching to whatever you wish to monitor.

Custom length, made to order, e.g. for custom cases, towers, other Amiga models. Please specify the length(s) required in the comments below.
Audio Pickup Cable
This cable is used to take an audio signal from the RF modulator on the A1200. Solas can react to an audio feed; this cable allows that in an A1200, but other setups will ned a more custom solution.
Solas Manual Link
£0
No cable required - Solas is being used in a machine other than a standard A1200, or the audio reaction functionality isn't required

£1
Audio pickup cable
This cable connects to the mono audio feed available at the A1200 RF modulator using a spring clip. Note that if the modulator has been removed you may need to add a pin to the motherboard and add capacitors that may have been omitted during recapping.
A1200 Power & Drive Activity Cables
These two short cables connect Solas to the keyboard LED and floppy power connectors on the A1200 motherboard. Passthrough connectors are provided on Solas for connecting the original cables. Power connection is only required for using fans and longer LED strips. Drive activity LED cable is only required for Solas to react to drive activity.
Note that if the setup is anything other than a standard A1200, some alternative solution will be required.

A1200 power and drive activity passthrough cables
These cables connect from Solas to the A1200 motherboard connectors and provide additional power required for using fans and longer LED strips, and for Solas to know about floppy and hard drive activity.
