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.

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 ;)

Yes i know about that one :D
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. :)

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.

Thanks buddy!! I will try this.
 
Does the update on kipper2k's site mean that we (I actually) shouldn't follow the earlier instructions on his site to send him an email (not PM here) to order a board? I wasn't paying close enough attention here and missed the pre-order period here.

When it was announced that new orders would be taken at his site, I went there and sent him an email as he instructed. I hope that wasn't wrong and there's something else I should have done instead. I haven't heard back from him in about 2 weeks although I wasn't expecting to until he finished the pre-order backlog. I was mostly hoping that the email would get me into line for when he starts to process store orders.

Sounds like you did it right to me.

I'm guessing more ppl sent their Kickstarts than the list on 1st page suggests?
Click to expand...


Maybe.

Fact 1: This Preorder is closed since Dec 2015. Everyone on the first page did the preorder and has to upload Kickstart 3.1.
Fact 2: Now you can preorder at kipper2k.com. Then you mustn´t upload Kickstart 3.1 because he paid licence for KS3.1
Fact 3: Dont ask for other Kickstarts, because Apollo Team has made adjustments to the KS3.1 Rom to support the new features of the Vampire II.

Fact 4: As you can see on first page, shipping has been stopped. But I heard, that production is going on well. Apollo Team is about to release Silver Core V2 soon and all cards will get this flashed before shipping.

That's a long answer to something I didn't even ask ?
What I was referring to is the *fact* that I uploaded the ROM a long time ago yet, the list doesn't reflect this fact. So I was kind of guessing I'm not the only one and that the reason for this not being updated was something else...
(only 1 person from the €120 list is flagged as having uploaded the ROM).
As you can see from my username, I'm pretty high up among the €120 pre-orders..

Like you, I sent in my Kickstart a while ago, and it's not reflected on the 1st page. On the other hand, if you log back into kipper2k's ftp site, and check the folder "/Vailid Rom Images", you'll see all the folks that have been acknowledged as having a valid rom, even tho it's not yet reflected in this thread. I see 89 files there.
 
Vampire 600 V2 - Amiga 600 FPGA accelerator Pre-order

Who are the ones sending in their kickstart images, ones that have pre-paid already??!

Sounds like a few people need to be patient as there is only so much time in the day for them to be working this production.
