I thnk it will be some time before Vampire comes out in 200 pin CPU version for A3000/A4000.

Making it Zorro III compatible is no small job. Is a very difficult thing to get right. Vampires up to now have been for 16 bit Amiaga, only now are the people talking about A1200 version and sourcing components for a build.

Will be a stepping stone I think, to an A3000/A4000 Vampire. Best saved till last, maybe. Also technically most difficult. But what an upgrade. :) One day maybe.

OT, I don't think I could ever afford the upkeep of either A3000 or A4000 anymore. Zorro III is an expensive option, it's not just the cost of the base machine, the expansions cards are not cheap either.
