Have been looking forward to getting my hands on something since Natami project first appeared!
Im not bothered at all that they have been working to get Atari based stuff going on it as that means more potential customers. Surprised if they havent had a look at 68k Mac(ergh) as thats even more customers. (Would be funny too as the Fastest 68k Mac would STILL be an Amiga and would make a great advert) My only gripe would be software, theres alot more on the Amiga than Atari that make use of faster CPU. I mean that after you have watched all the scene demos since 1994 and got bored of Frontier, what then? Having the biggest red line in Sysinfo on youtube is just a waste of money. We need new software or conversions of early PC games that ARENT yet another DOOM clone There are a ton of people who have built the Terrible Fire CPU cards, the `market` for 68030+ software is growing and Im sure ravenous to sink thier teeth into something new to thrash that cpu for all its worth. Time is the real limiting factor here I guess, we all have other things that we should be doing to pay the bills we never had 30 years ago Any news on pre-ordering to mention? Buying FPGA`s is expensive, Im sure Gunner and co know this! Mouser and co dont list bulk prices for FPGA but Im sure the team have discussed pricing with potential suppliers, the price on 1000 has got to be better than single units. There is also the lead times, 10 weeks on some of them. Still Im patient, you cant just dive into production and fire them out to us. Any balls up could cost the team a fortune to put right and turn the whole thing very sour for all involved. Keep at it guys, slow and steady and we will all win in the end Standalone version for me as I already have too many computers! |

Not a complete loss. Running EmuTOS on the Vampire wasted about 1 minute of my life, but reminded me how badly TOS sucks. This saved me immeasurable time and money by quenching my desire to purchase an ST!

I assume amigaonthelake will be the US distributor since that's where I pre-ordered my Apollo A1200 case and Kipper2K keyboard, so I would expect AOTL to announce the availability of pre-orders once the dealer-arrangement is settled.

I waited 30 years to see a new competitive Amiga: shocked We are in 2019 and a Computer with a technology "hardware / software" based on the 90's, in my opinion it makes no sense, better to have an Amiga Standard Amiga was number one in the world in the late 80's early 90's and we were envied by everyone, now with these new hardware "in general, not just vampires" we just make the world smile Quote:

Has Gunner ever indicated that the Vampire V4 standalone will be offered as a complete system in the new Apollo A1200 molded case in black, and Kipper2K keyboards with black keycaps, or should we be pre-ordering the colored Apollo/Kipper cases and keyboards from AOTL now for our expected V4 standalones?

Of course it is. What else would the Vampire be based on? So is the beloved emulator that you use and cherish so much. I dont understand the point youre trying to get across.

Going online today means following TV in Streaming, it means watching a Flm in Straming and working simultaneously on Office or the Web. Well, indeed bad, the Vampire does not allow all this, WinUAE instead somehow allows me to do this, allows me to have a modern RTG system powerful and functional, allows me to start from the Workbench Firefox or Chrome and all other Windows applications with a Click with Winlauch tool from the Workbench. |

We will probably only provide cards to resellers and let them create bundles for customers. |

This is a slightly strange view of the world! As far as I am aware, Vampire doesn't attempt to replace a Windows PC or let you launch all of your Windows tools from classic hardware. Emulation is the only thing that can ever be set up to do that really. Vampire is instead the next evolutionary step in 68000 hardware which I think it does quite admirably. Possibly the 128MB of ram is questionable on the 1200 variant but then, there isn't THAT much stuff that would really use more.
[EDIT] And actually, yes, you can go online with 128MB of ram and a 68080. I do exactly that but with the "lesser" 68060 all the time. Whenever I want to grab a file for any of my Amigas, I use my 68060 system that has 128MB of memory and a "plipbox" and at the same time I usually check up on various sites while I'm there - so of course you can go online with 128MB of RAM and a 68000 family CPU Quote:

With regards to the topic of browsing and being online, and Vampire having too little resources to do some "modern" tasks.
My comparison is a weak one, but its somewhat a point; I have a OOOLD 2009 Acer laptop that was crawling with Windows. Installed Linux, and it feels much more responsive and browsing is less annoying. I could get a new 2019 laptop for "next to nothing", with much more power, but the Linux expirience lets me do my tasks while still keeping what little sanity I have left (?). AOS (or AROS?) is much less resourcehungry, so memory wont be THAT much of an issue compared to Windows machines. Obviously all the flash, java, scripts etc and images on sites will be an issue. |

Thank you for your prompt reply, TuKo! I guess I'll inquire directly at AOTL (will they be your US distributor for V4 standalone?), and see which way is best to proceed. I pre-ordered a black Apollo case and keyboard for my existing A1200, but don't want to be left short if they sell out since I plan on pre-ordering a V4 standalone and definitely want to put in that sexy new black A1200 case. Thanks again!
