Vampire 600 V2 - Amiga 600 FPGA accelerator Pre-order

@Majsta: that's an interesting contest, I hope you win.

Maybe add some new promotional pictures of the Vampire card in action to your original post on your website. It's better to make it as easy as possible for the jury.


Short question about the Vampire Black Edition, did I understood correctly the normal version has a Cyclone III FPGA ending with C8N and the Black Edition ends with C6N?
Is this the only difference or are the more differences?

C6N should in general be able to perform a little better, however this is not guaranteed and some 8s might run at speeds where most 6s cannot. The black editions can have either C6 or C8 chips as far as I understand, but they have all been verified to run at the advertised speed. The effective speed also depend on the memory on the board and not all memory chips can run at the high speed.

Well. What can I say. I played a few games last night! Geoff Crammond F1 is amazingly smooth, as is Frontier a great card. The little 600 has just become my main Amiga.

Card received today and is working! Unbelievable piece of hardware. However, took me 3h with sand paper and screwdriver to get it working. Important hint from kipper2k was the right screw should not be fully screwed in, otherwise the board bends and (or least for me) is only beeping but not working. Is that normal? Or does my board have cold soldered connections?

Thanks a lot !
