Vampire going into high end production

[NovaCoder]

The trouble is that the 'special' kind of people who create innovative hardware/software are not the best kind of people to market and produce it (we've seen this so often in the retro scene).

The Amiga A1200 replacement case shows how it can be done right:

1) launch a successful campaign to raise the capital
2) Get your product mass produced on the cheap
3) Keep your backers updated about the delays that always occur in AmigaLand
4) Pay for an actual shipping company to ship the bloody thing

It's not too late for the Vampire to have a great Kickstarter campaign with the A1200 model...stretch targets could be a model for CD32 and A3000

I know the Amiga case was way behind schedule, I was one of the people waiting LoL

But even with the delays, the A1200 case is still the best example in recent times of how to produce and ship new Amiga 'hardware' to lots of buyers.  I can think of loads of other Amiga hardware releases that have been a total disaster in comparison, most of them just quietly disappeared (ScanJuggler anyone?)

@nova

so you didnt sell all your amiga stuff;)

Well I have an empty case at least

Well, if you accidentially end up with a Vampire in that empty box, have you seen the OpenGL thread on Apollo forum?
Just randomly throwing it up here, since you seemed quite 3D inclined a while back;

Yes I did notice that thread

Adding OpenGL support to some of my old ports (and my old SDL library) would be pretty cool

hey Nova, speaking of your ports, can you please send me the link to your Indivision AGA MK2 config...I 've been having a hell of a time with that darn config program and remember you had a nice and stable config a little while back without stressing out AGA limits;)

Sorry my friend, I've lost that file

Best thing to do is ask over on EAB, we created a few nice 50hz config files (which are attached to the posts).
