Freakin' awesome ! I'm in the starting blocks for pre-orders.

kipper2k · 31 May 2016, 16:51

The v500 is getting a facelift... Majsta is adding an I/O header (or mabbe even 2). This can allow possibility of various devices to be hung off the vampire board, ethernet, wifi etc... These will need drivers, we have already identified some possible devices so if you are interested in doing a little coding etc, let us know...

Ethernet module

wifi module

it just keeps on getting better by the day thanks to Santa Majsta

But hopefully there is no-one out there claiming a patent or license for this add-on

some kind of a USB add-on would be nice too though

there is apparently quite a lot of literature on the devices

I think open source drivers can be easily created, (well, not by me, i am crap at this stuff lol.

so cool - THIS is the right answer to Schoenfeld's Individual Amiga Imperium.
now lets check if i again goes shopping...

dirkies · 31 May 2016, 20:26

Jens doesn't have ethernet/wifi add-ons but has a great USB addon. So i don't see the similarity.

why buy something from the Imperator if you can get all-in-one from the rebells

dirkies · 31 May 2016, 20:32

V500 has no usb so? And again this this apples vs lemons comparison. Jens his hardware works fine and is top notch quality available since many years. V500 is something completely different. Both are for sure impressive products, so no need for bashing any of them. (Just my 2c)

Arnie · 31 May 2016, 20:47

Doesn't Jens' USB addon only work on 020 and is connected to the clockport?

You would need an ACA500+ACA1221 for it to work on a 500.
Surely it would be better if USB could be added to the Vampire.

you can give your money, to whoever you like.
you can also give some more coins to unlock 10 mhz cpu speed or get some more memory for some more coins again-
support whoever you want. too bad I cannot find this remarkable product page atm.

dirkies · 31 May 2016, 20:51

Correct but then again these are 2 cheap cards. With a rapidroad it will cost ya around 250 €. Fair enough for the overall package.
But V500 doesn't have it (for now), and does not support maprom etc, so no comparison

McTrinsic · 31 May 2016, 21:18

The RapidRoad does not need a 020 - the Poseidon USB stack does.

I'm happy with my RR. I will probably get a V500 and stack it on top of an A500-Clockport-Adapter from ... *drumroll* iComp. And guess what, I'll even add a RR.

A V500 and a RR in one Amiga! Shocking, isn't it?

Cheers,
McT

But will it work with a VampireII 500?

booting from CF card....

dirkies · 05 June 2016, 19:55

Like!

CF card connected to an ide header? May open possibility to SATA adapters in such cases

kipper2k · 05 June 2016, 23:08

Here is pic of the CF speed

Zetr0 · 06 June 2016, 08:04

Impressive!

Very impressive!

UberFreak · 06 June 2016, 20:51

Kipper, what are those few AIBB tests where the A4000/40 is faster ?
Is this related to chip-ram access speed?
