It ships with an ApolloOS rom but there is a maprom feature that will put os 3.X rom into the core.
Since the Amiga situation has once again become a legal quagmire the kit ships with ApolloOS an Aros forked version to support 68K and the 68080 core.
IF you have purchased your own rom you can kindly flash it and use whatever flavor of os 3.X you wish.
Flashing new cores is done via a $10 USB flasher.

You can use the maprom feature to flash your own roms at startup. A line can be added into the startup sequence and place the rom into the folder shown in the documentation. Easy to setup.
This allows the team to ship with free and open APOLLO OS Aros based solution and allow the costumer to take .hdf files and simply convert them to .img files for imaging to CF or SD cads. I do this all the time as a tester and fan of the Vampire range.

There is no need to make it official really al ties to original sources are cut. The chipset is completely reversed and preserved for the future. The same is being done to the OS where AROS has been forked into a free and open solution. Should the IP holders ever resolve whatever legal issues they have the Vampire supports those OS options as well
