Vampire 600 V2 - Amiga 600 FPGA accelerator Pre-order

Wow. That's great progress. But if you'll implement an AGA and everything in a Vampire then why would that thing need an Amiga? I mean: at all? Just an adapter for the keyboard?

@khimru Remember the C64-direct-to-TV? 😉
Or the Chameleon you put into a c64?
And more recently, MIST...
Yea, in the end, practically the entire Amiga logic end up on that FPGA.
But the Apollo-core is the new "Natami" so if you think about it, this is the only way to get an improved Amiga 68k AGA compatible experience...

Would it be possible to have 2 hdds on CF and microsd. one for the os and the other for data

It will probably work with cf card in ata native or pcmcia. If the ram is located in the right memoryspaces.

I hope you dont mess with pcmcia mem area. Becouse i hope it can use 64mb ram co-op with pcmcia. Like be able to browse internet with vampire.

I have a silly question. But the 2 holes on the vampire. Is this for tighten vampire to motherboard with screws. Just like aca620 does? :)

PCMCIA will work just fine, since our memory is located in another space, so we don't have anything even near PCMCIA addressed. Holes are for securing the board to the motherboard, there is also another way just using one hole and gluing some screw directly to MC68K chip. But, people will find other ways, at least that's something Amiga users are famous :)

Payment sent for one Card.

Have I missed the boat on this one? I expect to be looking for an accelerator for my 600 at some point in the not to distand future, and I guess the options are a Vampire v2 or an ACA620.

I assume being FPGA based the Vampire can support alternate cores (Space permitting) has a 030 or 040 been tested.

If I am too late here then I suppose the ACA620 will be the one, but this certainly looks like a VERY interesting project that I's like to be part of.

Send PM to majsta and you'll know. Apparently production have started but I'm pretty sure majsta have ordered PCBs and other components with same reserve.

But note: ACA620 will give you decent accelerator today, while Vampire v2 will be a great accelerator sometime in in 2016 (developers are sure that everything will work as it should in the next month or two but if we'll apply the usual π coefficient... yeah.. the middle of next year is more-or-less realistic estimate).

Pm sent, fingers crossed, thanks.

Interested in buying
but not kinda understand "to imajstorovic at yahoo.com" part
