Vampire 2 A500 - Is the 68000 required?
« on: September 02, 2016, 02:29:26 PM »
Does anyone know if the Vampire 2 for the A500 will require the 68000 CPU to be plugged into it?

My A500+ currently has a Viper 520CD which doesnt require the 68000 and I sold the previous accelerator I used which was an M-Tec 68020-i which did require the CPU to be plugged in. Thing is, I cannot find the 68000 CPU and while I cannot believe I was soooo stupid (though I do have my moments) I wonder if I sold the M-Tec 68020-i with the CPU still attached.

If the Vampire 2 does need it then it looks like I will need to find a CPU or buy a cheap A500 and remove its chip.

Yeah, have experience on how fragile (bendy) those pins are. Had to straighten one in the past.
