My guess is it wouldn't even boot up with the original KS 3.1 ROM to be able to copy and modify it for it's use. That is why they have to do that and flash it to the card.

I see, thanks a lot for explaining. It would be cool if eventually we could patch our own versions of that ROM with the additions we want like with regular ROMs.

The show must go on.

my guess would be that it has something to do with the time the vampire needs to configure it self, It needs time to load the core and then it starts acting like a cpu.

I get no reply to email for ordering, is it normal or should I worry?
BTW latest website news (yesterday) say they have a batch in production and some kickstarts already licenced to be provided and included with the board. That is after all a nice solution IMO. |

Hi All,
I have been looking at some of the other threads and i would like to comment on them in this thread rather than hijack their threads. It has been the intention of the Apollo team to produce something that is both affordable and competitive with the other accelerator options that are available. The price point of the Vampire i think is set at a level that is affordable to most users and the architecture is such that it is capable of being improved. I believe that whether you are pro CPU or pro FPGA it is hard to argue with the benefits of the Vampire, what it cannot do today it can probably be fixed tomorrow. We are setting up a public SVN to encourage people to develop and to promote feedback in public forums. Future development plans include the A500/A2000 and the A1200. Discussions will follow as to the remaining models. As a natural progression of the Apollo core a standalone Natami 2 style version is also on the discussion board with massive specs.

Aga?
Is this running in AGA? Looks pretty amazing that's for sure.

For development purpose would be it useful to have a reconfigurable system where one can decide to run a plain 68k with a certain amount of plain fast RAM.
Is something that is planned for the vampire 2? |

It would be cool to have kind of a modular approach to enabling/disabling expansions on the Vampire, as you say, to test different setups. Plain 68k with nothing on it, 68k with some Fast RAM, "A1200 setup" with no fast RAM and AGA enabled (to play AGA games off floppy for example!), etc., all changeable on the Amiga by software.

I've said this already in some other threads - gimme an A600 with AGA and I won't need any other Amiga model. EVER It's the most versatile of Amigas thanks to PCMCIA, easy to expand and doesn't take your entire desk, compared to an A500/A1200.
As soon as the Vampire II gets AGA, I'm gonna rush out, buy one and make it my main system |
