[UserReview] Vampire V2-128 received and it's just pure p0rn.

Actually I have an overseas, lol, China contact that has or is making boards for many companies I've worked for and more. Good quality. If so inspired let me know I will give you contact info.

PS: He's darn cheap

yup, it is pretty well the fastest a600 in the world  (ATM anyway) the video drivers are the old testing ones, there are newer drivers now being worked on to replace the ones seen in the video

Good Day Sir,

Please ready research for an A2000 Expansion slot board, at least keep it in mind.

Thanks

IMHO, modular may be better on most add on but SATA with good DMA support should be standard. Will keep base unit price down and you can add what you want.

[QuikSanz]

When the stand alone motherboards are eventually released perhaps we'll see an ATX variant form factor with onboard SATA, USB and PCIe slots?  Zorro 3 compatible slots for legacy hardware would be the icing on the cake.

Agree fully. but while still an expansion all add on(s) should be on the accelerator and maybe optional.

[QuikSanz]

Or a PCI slot of some flavor....

[QuikSanz]

Will not purchase with no access to the fast bus......

[QuikSanz]

Not sure what you mean by this, it does have a fast bus already, fastest that the a2000 can provide. with video, SD, IDE capabilities isn't everything you need on this board ?

 it can be parked either sitting in the cpu slot or sitting in the co-processor slot

My thinking is SATA with good DMA support standard. If you want Ethernet, plug the expansion in the accelerator, same with usb.

@UberFreak,

Why I would like to see a base card and just add on after. Lower initial cost and faster to sales. Just be able to add on the rest!

@pixie,

If small and inexpensive otherwise sounds like another piggyback module.

[QuikSanz]

Napalm is AGA only so you'd have to wait for a A1200 Vampire board.

What? I run it on my A2000 w/PicIV! Heheheh.

[QuikSanz]

I know Vampire includes KS 3.1 but can you boot other Kickstarts with it? Say you wanted to boot KS 1.3 for some old unpatched game?

From what I understand, they are tuning it for WHDLoad. Should take care of that problem.
