And if a Vampire will avoid us to be vampirized? (about insane prices of turboboards)

I collect Amigas.  Part of the thrill for me is picking up hardware that I could not afford back in the day.  As a result I will not put a Vampire in any of my main Amigas.  They will all remain "classic".  For my sake I hope the floor falls out on these crazy Ebay prices due to the availability of the Vampire.

I'll NEVER replace a true 060 accelerator for a Vampire, yep, it's probably faster; but if I want a faster machine I'll go for a different approach, emulation or OS swapping.

Having said that, no new Amiga piece of hardware can be over 150€, maybe 200€.

You are a purist on 060 accelerators but why would u emulate stuff when u can have real hardware for your amiga(vampire), this makes no sense.

I simply love Motorola processors, it's just a feeling or amood about vintage hardware like this. The Vampire has bring such "unreal" speeds to the Amiga world (and promises even higher ones!) that I cannot see as a real part of the machine, that makes easy for me to think better in emulation...and I'm not a fan of it, I've never ever run an emulated OS3.9 with P96!
Call me purist, mostly I'm one of them

...and after all, I'll probably get one of them for my A600 :drink:
