Apollo Team announces the Vampire V4

Wow! This looks incredible. With the standalone option, it looks like we'll finally have the equivalent of NATAMI...

Tough choices. Do I want an accelerator or do I want to build a new system out of the standalone unit?

EDIT: I hope someone builds some fun desktop cases for these. A mini A4000 would be nice... 5.25" bay for an optical drive for CD32 emulation... 3.5" bay for backing up floppies...

That's a good idea but, how to drive the floppy?

Er, good question. Can those I/O ports do the trick? Hang a Catweasel off the IDE port? Hang a Kyroflux off a USB port? (are there Amiga drivers for it?)

It's 2017, people need to let the floppy go.  :laughing:

Some might say the same about the Amiga
While it's true there is no use for floppies in day-to-day use, it would be good to have the option for onboard imaging of disks.
