Finally! There's someone else out there who ISN'T going to replace the original ROM chip to 3.1! I praise you sir! :)

Not this nonsense again.  ;)

He says he's going to be adding USB - does the Poseidon USB stack even work with 2.x?  How about the new monitor drivers for the Vampire2?

I'll just leave these links here about the benefits of upgrading.  You too, can have the top-of-the-line Amiga ROM chip, circa 1994.  All for the princely sum of under $20 USD.  :laughing:

Its not possible to use Indivision ECS with Vampire2.


People also said an A600 couldn't have an internal optical drive, etc. Never say never. :lol:

Nice!  I would add BB's 2, 3, and 4.  And tap a fan off that floppy header.  Don't want all that fancy new hardware overheating. ;)
