Vampire 600 V2 - Amiga 600 FPGA accelerator Pre-order

[gebes]

I'm the proud owner of an A508, and I would like to echo the comment about it being superb workmanship, best way I can phrase it is " it works " no software needed or anything.

Kipper2K has updated his website with the following dated 7th Feb :-

Hi All,
I hve received the first main batch of boards and will start building them, I will update the list to reflect where I am in processing orders once I start mailing them. We have sorted out the Kickstart licensing and I have purchased some KS3.1 licenses for the Vampire and will include them on all future orders. This will increase the cost for new users by $2. for outstanding (PAID) orders I will use your rom you have supplied.
I will post the date here where I am up to in processing orders 23rd Dec 2015. when I get close to you on the list I will send you an email asking for payment. Do not send me an unsolicited payment, someone has already complained to paypal who sent me an unsolicited payment that I have refunded. (he ddn't understand the wait process). To check I haven't missed you on the list, check where I am in the processing date and if you sent me an email prior to that date and you never got an email from me, send me an email with subject header "Hey, You missed me" and we will sort it out. for the time being I cannot accept orders from stores.. Sorry, i just don't have time to read every email and respond to everyone individually. Please use the forums and irc channels to get techie questions answered, i troll the forums and try to answer as much as i can.

Kipper should hire someone to help him.. His business deserves it.

On the first post if you click on the link it will take you to a post from Kipper and so does this link which I copied from that post

>>>Kickstart 3.1 upload info<<<

Yes i know about that one
The problem is that i don't know how to make an "image"... so that information doesn't help me much
Could you point me to a an easy guide that is vconfirmed to work and give the correct "checksum"? (checksum is another thing i absolutely don't understand what it is)

Download and run the GrabKick tool on your KS3.1 Amiga 600 (the version from A1200 won't work):
http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/GrabKick

It will create the ROM image which you can then transfer to your PC. On your PC you then follow the instructions in Kipper2k's post to download and run gfsw.exe from http://esrg.sourceforge.net/utils_win_up/md5sum/ to calculate the checksum of your image file. If it matches the value in his post, transfer it to the ftp and you're good.

How is the shipment going? I guess it will be a while until everyone gets the Vampire. I have not been contacted yet.

Check the first post. He updates the list when they are shipped out. You're not exactly on top on the list so it might still take a little while until you are next in line.

Well be patient : I've uploaded my kickstart 2 weeks ago and still no change in the first post...

I don't think he'll start updating the people on the €120 list until he is completely done with everybody on the €90 list.
