The production of the Vampyre 600, primitive!

And do you have video of your CPU desoldering and socket installation? Just to compare what is primitive and what is not.

Vampire A600 and 500 a emulated 68000 CPU in FPGA only. Not finished product.
Vampire 600 V1 and V2 are finished products (CPU card + RTG card + SD drive) and team is actively develop the cores for it.

Back to your card. Few months back I bought Blizzard 1230IV with 128 Megs and FPU for 200 EUR which is usual price these days. So for 120 EUR more people will get from you 2,5 MIPS faster CPU and they will have to invest for FPU socket and FPU chip in advance. Sorry it does not seem to be that attractive price even when I compare this to the newest ACA 1233-55 which I can get new one for 40 EUR more then your tuned ACA.

Please forget about Jens and his strategy of production. Its his way, he always sold out his ACAs, so people obviously buy his products and its win-win situation.

I personally dont buy ACAs because I am fully satisfied with phase5 products.

I still dont get the point of 1-3 MIPS difference between various 030 accelerators. Simply if I have 030 with 9,5 MIPS all classic games work just fine. Then tell me WHY do I need 030 with 12 MIPS?

=> classic games (WHDLOAD) will work the same
=> FPS and 3D games will be slow the same

Even when you could overclock 030 to 100 MHz (of course I know this is not possible) you get something about 20 MIPS => which is the power of 040/30 MHz
