To Masta & others of the Vampire 2 team.
An Amiga reseller keeps telling me in a conversation today that it will take another 6 to 8 months for the Vampire 2 to be ready. (See also first mension in post #627)
I told him that he was wrong and that we could expect the Vampire 2 in the coming weeks.
He answered that coming weeks means 6 to 8 months for Vampire team.:(
I do not know where he gets his information.
I know that all of you are very busy but can someone of the team please comment on this?:unsure:
Sorry but now I see that I'd made a mistake here (overworked!). It goes via kipper2k page PP two days ago.
I need a rest... or some vacation cuz I'm writting nonsense :|
@MoRetro Yeah probably lot of people will not be happy to see this project progress. I received few msgs from amiga resellers and like I told here we put them all on hold. I don't know with whom you are talking about but I can assure you that this is not true. I can start sending cards right now. I have soldered enough of them. What could be key to this story is lot of accelerators on amiga shops and they need to sell them fast because no one will buy them later when I start sending Vampire. So spreading false rumors here is not an option. I said that at the end of last year will start sending cards but like you know I had to change design number of times so we are little behind.
These rumors are not interesting. Here, people who have declared their interest know well what you have done. We understand that it's a hard job and we can be patient!
Majsta, don't let you disturbing by that. We must thank you for your great job.:thumbsup:
Thank you for your quick and clarifying answer.:thumbsup:
I believe in you and the Vampire 2 project. But this guy and maybe others are spreading these negative rumours.
That's why I appreciate your swift and firm reply to counter these rumours.
I think he and others are negative to the Project because they won't sell their inferior hardware anymore once you start shipping.
Well there goes my believe in this dealer:mad:
I'll PM you.
I wish you best. Take your time, we believe in you and the Vampire 2 Project.

I agree 200% with that.:D
Thanks for replying honestly to the roumourville maj but please if it takes a bit longer than weeks than i am not concerned as quality must always come first :)
Majsta, take your time, we have waited until now, it is no problem to wait for another month; quality goes first.
About other accelerators, I must say I'm really happy with my ACA630; I though it was the top performance for my 600, but well... I was wrong :) I'm really hoping I can run Linux on the Vampire someday.

Yeah cool I can see my new super cool Vampire600V2 (3rd card upper row) ;-)
Thanks for your great support to the Amiga Community!!!
Impresive pictures! I have a question, will the card fit along with an A603 + Indivision ECS?

What beautiful jewelries!
Such a shame that once they are in use we will never see them! Anyone fancy making some vampire crystal a600 cases? ;)
Bond Street :o that's are bad zigarettes
Question might have been answered already but is the Vampire II compatible with A604 + Indivision ECS scandoubler..??
Seems so by the look of the pictures but some rumours on some forums pretend that it isn't compatible with Indi ECS...
It's not compatible, see here :
http://www.kipper2k.com/
"One thing i need to mention is that the Vampire uses the same register that the Indivision ECS uses so you cannot use the Indivision ECS with the Vampire. If you have already paid and you wish to cancel because of this then i will refund payment."
That is unfortunate, however if the HDMI output ends up working well with P96 drivers then the loss is insignificant since I probably won't miss the Indivision then (not really using it for gaming anyway so it is mainly for WB).
Well then to play games we will need a SCART TV or a CRT... :/
Not if they implement ECS emulation (SAGA?) into the Vampire V2 which might happen at some point. :)
My rom is uploaded!
With 128mb on board, there is no ram shortage! I plan on getting a USB controller on my 604n I am hoping that will be supported still.
This is what i hope too. I allready got ecs indivision ECS and subway usb controller. At least i hope the controller will work. Vampire should not atleast interfere with the left 1200 clock port. But you never know.
With different drivers both clockport on A600 works. clockports placed in 2 different mem areas. So you got 2 chances it could work. :)
Other than the 604n and rtc my 600 is recapped, modulator removed stock. So I have no clockport drivers installed. Once the vampire arrives I hope to get USB and is 3.9 bought and installed (I already own an original 3.9 CD as I use it under emulation on my MorphOS Mac mini.)
I brought a 4gb cf flash card for hdd and an indi ECS for the A600 a while back... now it looks like the Vampire can handle all these things (Hope they get the HDMI bit implemented quick). I don't have a TV for the A600, just a monitor.
bugger that's all I can say.
Nice :)
Not too long ago i recaped my mobo. And removed modulator for hdmi :)
I hope that the 10 cm long hdmi IN with both hdmi and dvi out will fit where RF was. :)
Aos3.9 i owned for decades. Has also custom my original kick 3.1. To 3.1/3.9 switch. Needed for cheap sata adapter to boot my ssd.
My kickstart has been uploaded to FTP :)
Uploaded my kickstart as well.
majsta, when You will start to make new order for the Vampire 600v2 ????
he wont.
go here.

pls don't mix this pre-orders thread with kipper2k. He has his own orders list. tnx
Woah! No Indivision ECS support? That is a severe handicap. WB and games look gorgeus with the Indivision. Even if the Vampire has RTG, games videomodes won't be scandoubled. Is not there any way to change the conflicting addressing? I would gladly sacrifice Fast Mem if that allows the Indivision to work.

Hi, like others I uploaded my kickstart.
Hi, are there any Vampires V2 going to be for sale without preordering?
http://kipper2k.com/accel600.html check out Kipper2K's website, I believe you can order one from him directly, though may take time for a reply.
