Just remembered. I recall hearing a while back that the Vampires weren't compatible with Zorro slot expansions. Installing one would render all your other cards inoperable. I wonder if this has been addressed yet?

Yeahbut is it Zorro or a2000 cpu slot?  Pic looks cpu slot to me.

???

You put the Vampire in an adapter that fits into the CPU slot of the A2000, _or_ you just pull out the 68000 and insert the Vampire there, but that may not fit so well inside the A2000, and in any case it does not matter.

A2000 only has 16 bit Zorro2 slots that were made with 68000 in mind, and these will work well with Vampire.

What would _not_ work, is using current Apollo core with Zorro3 cards, but at this point that is not so relevant, as there are no Vampire cards for A3000(T)/A4000(T) systems.


Thanks for that. There you go @oldsmobile_mike. Your answer from an authoritative source.
