I would prefer a smaller case (similar to a mac-mini case) for the v4 standalone, something like this Vampire V4 Acrylic Case, but solid colored, and then be able to use a mechanical filco usb keyboard with it. |

Is it too soon to sob about the many years I've been waiting for my Vampire A1200?
Sniff... :-( |

The V1200 will come after the stand-alone board anyway. I'm hoping for a V500 because A500 models are more serviceable than A600 or A1200. Pin through soldering is a piece of cake. Surface mounted devices are considerably more difficult to service.

While they are developing these new boards, are they still working on supporting the A600 vampires? A friend of mine owns one and says he's been waiting them to update the core and improve support for various features that were promised ages ago. TBH it put me off buying one :-/

Yep and what it can do now is pretty darn sensational. Really looking forward to GOLD 2.11 that will hopefully bring some improvements to WHDLoad compatibility for stodgy old farts like me.

I dont own a vampire card, but my friend has a black edition and I'm sure he said that his A600 doesn't output everything through HDMI. He still has to output some stuff (amiga games) through the composite port. When he said it, I couldn't help think it sounded a little nuts. Has that been solved?

I have to admit when he said it couldn't do it, I was a little surprised and disappointed. The A600 has a vampire, now so does the A500, soon there will be a stand alone unit and if we are lucky one for the A1200. With all these cards coming out, you'd have thought they might have got functionality all sorted out by now. Especially with how much they cost. I dont know how I'd feel about buying a Vampire for my A1200 and it only half working :-/

By the time the A1200 version is available you'll have full functionality.
It's not far off now tbh, it was always known it was going to be a gradual process with card sales funding further development. Don't forget that any existing card can have all the new features as and when the cores are updated. |

Yes, it is a small team so things take time. But don't expect all new features to become available on the V2 Vampires. The FPGA on that one is pretty much stuffed as far as I can understand, so they probably won't be able to fit all those new features into the same core. Maybe they will release several versions so you can choose whether you want the chipset (for PAL HDMI out) or the FPU. The V4 has a much larger FPGA so it should be able to fit everything. I would expect that once the V4 is launched, we will probably start to only see minor updates for the V2 as it doesn't have room for anything but smaller things. |
