Vampire A600 V1 latest/lastever core ?

[peo]

I posted this on the Apollo forum some days ago, but it seems it vanished (maybe someone got offended) ..

Hi,

Got my hands on an ancient Vampire A600 (V1) board, and have been looking for what cores are available for it.
Found v0.1, v0.2 and 1.0 at Majstas' site, and I've seen mentions of a newer core by the Apollo team "Phoenix", which is supposed to be clocked at 200MHz (1.0 is 100MHz).

I'm aware that Apollo dropped all support of this old card (and probably v2 and v4 soon), but has all documentation for it vanished because of the dropped support ?

Try asking on the discord channel, the developers are quite active there.

I uploaded in the Zone the latest cores i have:
"apollo_mini_LATEST5.zip"


The cpu is recognised as 68000, but capable to run many 68020 programs (i used it to play mp3 with an old mpegaudio.library)
The fastmem is not enabled at boot time, because not enough space in the fpga to enable it. You need to run "PhoenixEmulation45" in the startup-sequence.
Probably it works only with the kick 3.1
Let me know if it works

@cgugl Thanks, I will check once my board arrives (it's on its way). Those at Majstas' site are probably older, but still available for download.

Cool I used to have 2 of these V1 cards, I sold one on eBay 2 years ago I think… I’ll be looking at this core too… thanks!
