Kickstart 3.1 uploaded from my own Amiga 600 (yay! AmiFTP). MD5 checksum seems right.
I guess you have a fast ram expansion already? Once I have Miami loaded and the netty card working I don't have enough mem left with only 2mb to open AmiFTP :( I look forward to these abilities when the vampire v2 arrives ;)

You are mostly right. I already have an ACA 030/25 with 32 MB Fast RAM. I use the OS 3.9 built in Genesis, so my current 600 operates with Internet flawlessly. Even so, I'm looking for a big boost with the Vampire V2... and the RTG looks promising, I never imagined RTG in the 600. The only thing that turns me a bit down with the Vampire is the lack of MMU that will prevent running NetBSD and Linux on it (ACA 030 allows me that), but even so the hardware is amazing.
 

where is your declared interest and your not on the list..

ive checked your posts back to before March 2015 and I don't see anything., all i can see is you sending money for 2 units after the closing date.

there are others waiting and been refused as pre-orders are closed. I will have Majsta confirm or deny this as all Vampire 600 V2 now have to be bought via Kipper2k
 
@kipper2k:

Shoot me a PM (I've also emailed you). I have some exciting news about being able to buy legitimate 3.1 ROM licenses for low cost. This might make it a LOT easier for people to get into the vampire card.
 
sunmax_kickstart3.1.bin happily uploaded. MD5 verified before uploading. All set! :-)
 
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:

Hell yeah! Just what I was thinking.

what Majsta and the Apollo team is doing puts commercially made products to shame :)
