Yeah, I know, but it looks like that has been frozen for some time. I uploaded my kickstart in december and I can see in the FTP it has been moved to the "Valid Rom Images" folder, so I guess it's ok.
To be clear, what I want to know: is there something I must do on my side or is it just a matter of waiting -which is not a problem-?
Great, thank you! :)
I want to order a board, please put me on the list or tell me what todo.
Best regards, Remi
Does this notice from kipper2k have any effect on the pre-orders from Majsta?
It's all about doubling the price of the FPGA chip used in the Vampire 2 by the new owners of Altera.
We will see what happens. I have some stock left(small one) and I have 20 FPGA ordered month ago with old price. I hope that this will be enough to close this pre-order list. In a week or so production will increase and it will be much faster because of various things but I ll talk about that when all is set.
Shortage of fpga oh no!

To save time and not to write each and everyone on PM here is what is going on. My last FPGA shipment after waiting for more than month was lost. Later on I have found out that shipment ended up in Bahrain ??? Last few days I m solving this and this time I ll use DHL to reduce time. As you probably know prices of the devices doubled in last 10 days. And not just prices of the FPGA but most of the parts we use but we are good for now because I have managed to get let's say normal price of the FPGA because my manager mistake in typing my address on the package. Also production will pickup much faster if all goes well with few things. In next few days I ll publish some exciting news on my site.
Nice news... Although I already have my card it sounds exciting. I hope kipper has also some benefits of the coming news since I would very well do with 1 or 2 extra cards... 😅😉
He is also waiting for my article so things will change a lot regarding production speed, again, if all goes as planned.
I'm pretty sure I've seen what you've got in store .. But I won't steal your thunder. :)
Hi, I'd like to order a Vampire V2 for my A600 too.
Could you send me a PM if you have one for sale?
best regards
I wrote some emails to kipper but they don't answer, so where can i order one?
You wrote to Kipper. Next step is to wait. It can take months.
I just heard from a guy receiving his card recently. He ordered in november 2015.
I waited a year for my pre-order but it was worth the wait.
Lucky you, I pre-ordered here May 2015, still pending :)
Waiting since march.
In march you already had to email kipper, which I did.
I hope they find a way to make more cards..now only for a600, then a500 and a1200 cards.. so only one person cant do all that,i think kipper is working like crazy. Else we have to wait years and years...and i want the 1200 version of this great apollo acellerator!
@majsta: nice!
I didn't know this existed, looks great.
I'm curious on how it will handle the bigger chips.
Brilliant machine...I am really positive I will getting the Vampire in 2016 now :)
@majsta if the vampire card for amiga 1200 is released, you announce it here on amibay? Because, i really want on that waiting/buy list.. keep up your great work for all amigas! :)
the placer robot looks promising, does it take a lot of time to set it up?
regards,
Exit
@majsta
That is seriously cool. keep up the good work :)
That's a fantastic bit of machinery you have there and it should make building these boards so much easier for you and a lot quicker for placing parts. :thumbsup:
I am a total newbie. How can I get one as soon as possible?
This is a closed pre-order thread. You should go now to kipper2k's website:

Majsta's website/domainname has been suspended.
Please tell me Majsta, your version an improve of this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bYrwi3UA_A) :P
Plus when you have a chance please see if is possible for me to start a production in Portugal / EU.

Hi,
Interested in one please!
Thanks.
Just read the FIRST POST in this thread!!!!!!!
@1NOM155 Yes I have liteplacer now. I have already started mass production so I won't need help with soldering or someone else build cards. Machine can build loads of cards per day, in fact more than we need. Maybe once when we move on to another Amiga model we can find a way to talk. Point is that in assembly of those cards lot of things needs to be done and not just that, testings takes time and testing tools is something we keep private for now.
Thank you for your quick response Sir Majsta :)
I comprehend mate, my idea was to help decrease the waiting list, was you can see a lot of people (including my self) are waiting for your marvellous work and the team (of course I'll not forget Apollo guys :P ).
And unfortunately Kipper2K can't handle hundreds or even more requests :p
Plus was also to avoid custom house fee for European costumers.
About the test / tools, I didn't thought that, but the assemble / build process, my idea is to make in a professional level / mass production, not in my home, lacking of space ;)
Anyway, if in a near future may possible to start a mass production, send me a PM.
In mean while I'll wait for you (or Kipper2K) can start produce some cards in "auto mode", to avoid any distractions on your future development :)
@majsta:
Please add me to the waiting list (1 piece Vampire 600 MK2). My A600 has 37.350 Kickstart. Is this OK or do I need a 3.1 ROM, and if so - do I have to buy a chip, dump the image and send it to you - or could I use the file version off my ClassicWB by Cloanto (bought legally, I have a S/N).
Just read the FIRST POST in this Thread!!
A copy of the first post:
PRE-ORDERS ARE CLOSED FOR NOW
Last sent Vampire was on june 27th. Wonder when I will get mine. I should be happy when I get it this year I suppose.:lol:
Have to admit, an update would be nice on what's happening, I thought the liteplacer machine would speed things up, and would see a glut of cards being marked as sent out.
It's also cause I'm looking forward to having a new Amiga almost !
Argh!! i've been looking for this thread for the last hour!
But Please add me to the pre-order list when it reopens. thanks
