FAQ
FABULOUS AMIGA QUAINT
How does A1200net operates
—–
The team uses Crowdfunding platforms to create new compatible parts for Amiga & retro hardware.
- Crowdfunding campaigns helps us to build industrial tools to produce replacement parts.
- These tools are necessary. Original tools are long gone and new ones are necessary to make new replacement parts for the Amiga classic line of computers and other products.

IMPORTANT
IndieGoGo or Kickstarter aren’t marketplaces nor online shops.- If you are not patient – please do not contribute
– These industrial projects can take years to deliver! - When you pledge on any Crowdfunding campaign
– You are NOT placing any order!– You are JUST financially supporting a project. - When said project reaches production
– You will get the corresponding reward to your pledge. - Keep in mind that
– You are only financially supporting a project.
The nature of these projects (plastic injection) yield a risk of losing 100% of the funds you supported the project with.

Amiga Keycaps compatibility
New Amiga Keycaps are compatible with following criteria
- Keyboard switches : Mitsumi Hybrid
- Amiga 500 / Amiga 2000 / Amiga 3000(T) / Amiga 600 / Amiga 1200 / Amiga 4000(T)
Compatibility Note
All Amiga keyboards are more than 30 years old. Not all Amiga keyboards were manufactured by the same factory. Throughout the existence of Commodore & Escom, while Mitsumi Hybrid keyboards were requested to be produced following the same design, each manufacturer introduced almost imperceptible variations.
As such it is expected that in some occasions a keycaps might not sit correctly on its stems – popping up from its switch easily.
Can I support a project when the campaign is over?
-Yes,
When a campaign ends new contributors can still support it for the duration of the IndieGoGo InDemand feature.
IndieGoGo InDemand is a feature offered by IndieGoGo that allows new supporters to join the party once a campaign has ended and only if it reached its Goal.
Note:

They do this on their spare time and each team member has his own day job. As such there is no other time of delivery than the one available on the Crowdfunding campaign page.
Due to the nature of these projects being in heavy industry, delays are part of the projects.
When delays happen, they can expand the duration and wait time for your rewards to reach you by several months or years.– You are advised to always follow campaign updates thoroughly to stay informed and up to date with current progress.
