After the big success of the Vampire 600 V2 and Vampire 500 V2+, Apollo Team is proud to announce their next generation FPGA device: the
Vampire V4.
The Vampire V4 is made with a standard “one design to fit them all” and comes in three flavors depending on customer need:
The Vampire V4 Standalone System
The Vampire V4 for Amiga Classic compatible with
Amiga 600 with kippa’s adapter (if produced)
The Vampire V4 for Amiga 1200
This new Vampire V4 packs many upgraded specifications and brings Amiga Classic systems to another new performance paradigm thanks to its new Altera Cyclone 5 A5 FPGA and fast DDR3 memory.
The Vampire V4 standalone system will be a complete new Amiga system powered by the 68080 CPU core and the complete SAGA chipset (AGA compatible).
Vampire V4 is powered by:
FPGA : Altera Cyclone V A5 (77k LE, 28nm technology)
RAM : 512MB DDR3 (up to 1GB/s)
And supports:
FastIDE with 40/44-pin connectors
Digital Video-out up to 720p@60Hz
Dual Kickstart-flashrom (for safety)
Certification: Vampire V4 is CE, WEEE and RoHS compliant
PCB is populated by:
1. IO Header #1
2. IO Header #2
3. IO Header #3
4. Ethernet
5. USB
