So, if I now understand correctly, you need a bootable media to enable and mount the SCSI HD using the Vampire on the CDTV? What about the CD, can that be made to work outside of the on board scsi.device? |

@ Majista
I'm interested in CDTV support, espressed interest in purchasing V500+ only for this (my CDTV). Please |

I'm only interested for Vampire if it works with CDTV. I thought to buy it when price was only 150€ just in case, but 300€ is too much for something wich I might never has any use.
CDTV is most beautifull Amiga ever produced. |

I haven't been able to make the CD work yet. The CDTV drive is really odd, it has the CDfilesystem (cdfs.library) in ROM and has all these other dependencies and right now I'm not sure what's not working. Using the killcd0 package on Aminet should work which has normal mountlists but the new CD0 just says Not a DOS volume, however if I try to format it, I can see it accessing the CD and reporting the drive is write protected, as it should. With this package: http://aminet.net/package/util/cdity/CDTVTools The CDTV CD audio player is working in Workbench and it plays audio just fine. Also the CDTV prefs to set the time/interlace mode etc. Last edited by grelbfarlk; 11 December 2016 at 21:21. Reason: more info |

Like I said upthread, an A570 for the A500 would be enough for someone to get the CDTV working, it has the same ROMs, if someone has one of these they are not using and someone on the team had some time it could be done. |

Yeah, the CD drive is an odd one. I wonder if you could use an IDE CD drive and somehow emulate the CDTV software like the CD32 emulation for the A1200.
I'm also wondering if the A570 CD drive will work on an A500 with a Vampire. |

The A570 should act almost exactly the same as the CDTV with Vampire. It has the same DMAC chip and the same ROM. That's why I said it might be a good platform to fix the CDTV issue, as shipping one would be a lot cheaper than shipping a whole CDTV. |

@majsta: I expressed interest in the Vampire just to put it into a CDTV, so - yes!

I think there is lots of people who do hope for a renaissance, but I think it is a pretty small group. If anything the fact that the Commodore did have a fairly sudden death has perhaps helped make it the collectors machine it is today. Imagine if Commodore was still in business and pumping out 3ghz A9000's? Would those Amiga 500's and the 20 years of later machines that would have existed be worth anything more or be any more desirable than an old PC? |

a 3ghz amiga might prove to bhe a bit laughable, while people would start to expect contemporary features with it and then notice all they can do with it is run 20 years software plus some minor sdl ports at the risk that some random bug brings the whole system down, along with some unsaved work.
i think we shouldnt demand too much. there are already amigalike system running on gigahertz machines. we know how they prosper. vampire fits nicely into the gap. maybe some sort of development that justifies an asic one day will take off. but it isnt thecase for now so first things first. |

What I spoke of was something different (hence why I said that 100% compatibility with OCS/AGA machines was a must): basically it was to make an all-new (as in: without old components) Amiga, with all the new bells and whistles but with the basic core of an old Amiga. Basically, do what the Vampire 2 does with an old Amiga but without the need for an old Amiga. Quote:

Kipper? Should I be checking my inbox everyday several times a day or should I wait a month or so. I don't want to miss the email for payment and lose my slot. I want to pay now.
Um, yeah. I'm excited. |

For CDTV you need a custom ROM image that hasn't been created yet. Otherwise you could use a V500+.

I don't think a custom ROM is needed unless you explicitly need to boot from CD or use the CDDA player on the extended ROM. Anyways, I too have a CDTV and will try it out

Nothing has changed in this regard, the CD drive still doesn't work to read data CDs. It does however work to use the Workbench version of the CD-Audio player.

I guess one can also replace the CD drive with something more modern and connect it to the the IDE port on the Vampire. In any case, lacking CD drive is not big issue for me at least.
