Vampire 600 V2 - Amiga 600 FPGA accelerator Pre-order

[Vlad]

Got my card today, thanks majsta and kipper!

Speaking of lack of information........
Received my "Woohoo Santa Claus is in the neighborhood..." Email on the 7th November 2016, replied 4 hours later (up to now several times) and haven't heard back anything.
Neither an Email back for the payment nor any other reaction on my sent Email(s)....
I understand they are run over with orders and stuff but on the other hand at least an Email as a response or anything else would be helpful here.

Sending out Emails saying a card is reserverd for you after you've ordered this card serveral months ago and then not hearing back a word is more than disappointing....

Ive had exactly the same experience, I doubt that Santa will have a v600 for me

Brian has had surgery done to his hand and has to stop for a couple of weeks to let it heal, there are a few threads over at EAB about the same sort of topics discussed here.

You should read the full threads but the first link shows you Brian's hand after the op.

I send my first e-mail to order my vampire last year, Then in september this year I sent payment, The card arrived today, I know alot of people are upset by the waiting time and the lack of info when you send a email, But I would like to add my voice to the ones that have their card now and can honestly say its well worth it

Thank you all to the poeple involved in making this great product

It may be better to use another place to discuss expressions of interests/requests/payments not related to this thread which is about pre-orders on this site only which closed long ago. I'd suggest the new forum at http://forum.apollo-accelerators.com/ or the old forum on http://www.apollo-core.com/knowledge.php?b=0 or the Apollo team IRC channel or one of the threads on EAB, amiga.org or amigaworld.net. You can check your interest/order status using http://orders.apollo-accelerators.com/

 

[chiark]

Great to know they're arriving in the UK adders

Ian, agreed, it probably should be discussed elsewhere.

Hello,
I asked Majsta if it´s possible to buy a Vampire 600. He agreed and told me maybe. I really want one of this and payed. In August we have a short conversation and asked if everything is good, he told me that he hast to build a lot of Cards.
I try to write a PM but that´s only possible after two Posts. Maybe Majsta can tell me if I have a chance to recieve a Vampire Card, not this year maybe next year I can wait. I read that Cards are more expensive but that´s Ok for me. Everyday I hope that I recieve a Mail from Majsta but nothing....
Please Majsta can you tell me if you build a Vampire for me, too?

 

[majsta]

@Misterfloppy
Ye sorry I forgot about few people. I ll try to mail cards in the morning. Check your e-mail please.

Guys,

I am not moaning, but is there any way to see via the Apollo website where you are in the queue?

When I expressed an Interest on the site, I saw that there were around 700 people before me, I just don't know any way of seeing what number of the Vampire Card is currently being dealt with, so therefore, no way of knowing where I am in the grand scheme of things.

As I say, i have patience, so no great hardships - What Kipper2k and Majsta are doing is phenomenal, and a credit to the Amiga scene, like everyone that still uses and follows progress on this project with 25 year old equipment, its an amazing thing, and i have nothing but admiration, i wouldn't even know where to start on a project like this one.

I also hope that Kipper2k's hand heals quickly, and isn't causing too much discomfort, the pictures look nasty... and very painful..

Thanks all.

Hmm has batch 2 of mass produced Vampire 600s been shipped? I am asking because I just got notification from Finnish customs that I need to clear shipment from the Canada. Now, I am 99% sure it's the Vampire but since I order stuff all over the world all the time, it COULD be something else also I've already forgotten. In any case I need to clear the shipment without seeing it first - it's all electronic nowadays and I do not even know if I can go to the customs and ask to see the parcel anymore like back in the days... So in worst case scenario I will pay USD 70 worth of taxes (!!!) for some cheap spare parts (been there done that, refund process takes months).

If it is indeed Vampire then Brian please, you were supposed to have a small rest! I could've waited for few weeks more.

 

[gseb]

This has nothing to do with this thread. Wrong place.
You should contact the one who sold you the card.

Ah sorry I mixed up kipper2k and majsta. My apologies!

 

[Toryglen-boy]

quick question, hoping someone can help with, i see the price of the vamp is 250 Euro, that's all fine and dandy, does this include VAT or Sales tax of any other nature, and is anything deducted from the price when sending outside of the EU? anything i order from Amigakit or other retailers, to come to Australia, usually has 20% VAT removed

many thanks


EDIT : just found out, its sent from outside the EU. no problems then

 

[demolition]

EDIT : just found out, its sent from outside the EU. no problems then

Yeah, both Kipper2k and Majsta are outside EU. I don't think anyone should expect any deductions from the €250 price, but only to have their local taxes and fees added on top of that, which ends up at quite a bit extra for someone like me in EU.

 

[Gunlord]

And I'm still waiting for my card.

 

[majsta]

@Gunlord I forgot about you, with all mails I receive I misplaced yours somehow. I have send you PM and I ll resolve problem ASAP. I know that you are waiting for too long, sorry.

I have about 5 more V600 left to handle for the people ordered here and on my mail. So not much.

 

[Gunlord]

No card




1,5 jears wait

No there's no VAT removed, only added when importing ;-) I paid 250.00€ for V2, 45.00 USD for shipment and 52.50 USD for import taxes since the parcel's content value was declared "honestly", so a total of 358.50 USD for a Vampire II 600.
But I am happy that it arrived today :-D Thank you very much Brian and Majsta AMIGA RULES AGAIN :Commodore::rainbow::bounceBoingBall::yourock:

Does OS4.x run on these accelerator cards?
Where can i read about new software written for V II?
Does anybody knows why V II cards for A500 are more expensive than for an A600? I can not imagine how much A1200 V II will be...and finally A4000?
thanks,
