"New" amiga hardware

[wrath of khan]

The two Vampire Cards : Vampire 500 and Vampire 600
are developed by Igor Majstorovik (www.majsta.com)
The Vampire 600 is available already.
The Vampire 500 is in testing right now.

Igor will anounce the card I suppose.


The Phoenix CPU Core is designed by me.
So all information about it is first hand.

The Phoenix CPU card was produced in 10 units for developers so far.
We are currently testing it.
As soon as we donw with testing we want to sell it.
We plan to be ready for this in the next month.

Official announcements will then be made on our website.

Your selling a separate phoenix cpu card? Is this indepenedent of the vampire 500 and 600 boards?
Is this just a stopgap before the apollo board or something different?

To biggun:

Wouldn't SysSpeed give more accurate results than SysInfo? Would be nice to be able to make more meaningful comparisons

Of-topic:

Is that you in your avatar? If so, who of the two are you? Just had to ask

[ElPolloDiabl]

Should you stop him pestering for information? He probably has a lot of work to do till it is ready.

SysSpeed has already been suggested as well as Doom .

That's him. He's the one with the big gun(s) but maybe his girl has some too .

The bringup web page has been updated now.

the page is so trashy. i kinda like it.

Only 68000 instructions?  No 68020+?  I know, I know, nag nag, one thing at a time!

[NovaCoder]

I see that a lot of work progressed since the start of the project. I can't wait to see the final results.
I want to see Doom running in 64 colors on A500/A600.

If you get enough horsepower you'll also be able to run Sam & Max on an A500 in 64 colors

Another small tuning.
Now enabling LINKSTACK

great. though keep in mind to cgeck if performance on some other end does not suffer, because for example the chip speed is now back to the lower value.

Great! Ill be first in line for an apollo board. I shall have to let the internet know also...I should make some videos when I get a board.
I'm looking forward to playing around with my a500 again.

If it contain 68882 core, we could play AmiQuake!

I also wonder if you could play TFX on it too??

Those results are quite impressive. I'll be keeping a close eye on this for my A500+. I do not want to go out of subject. However I can't resist asking the question; any chance for an A1200 card?

[wawrzon]

if i read gunnar correctly the vampire fpga is too small to include an fpu, but they have it ready for apollo softcore that means for they own card.

[biggun]

I think the little Vampire can do even better results if the CPU is properly setup.

What do you think about this value?
