Vampire 500 V2+ compatablity with other expansions????

[Motormouth]

How well does the Vampire 500 V2+ work with expansions?

on the A500\+  The 86 pin expansion
I guess the one I am thinking of is the Impact A500 HD8+?
Does it work with the GVP 286?

How about the A2000, does it work with zorro II SCSI cards?
How about bridgeboards?

All of you have been bringing up great points.

Some of the questions are can the vampire handle cards on the 24 bit address and DMA on a 86 pin or zorro II and the Buster in the A2000 for Zorro II.
This is at least we have data points from darksun9210 with the A590 working with the Vampire, and a “Ethernet” card working in an A2000 with the Vampire.

Further,
I really like the page cunnpole posted for the A600 vampire, the problem however for the vampire A500 is that most of these are clockport devices or port adapters not really directly relevant to the A500.

One of reasons I was asking about expansion was deciding whether to put this in one of my A500s or A2000s

An A2000 with a vampire and a 486 bridgeboard would be kinda awesome.
But a scsi card or 16 bit memory or even an Ethernet card is not quite like the issues a bridgeboard can have.

But I also like the idea of a Super A500.  The vampire would probably make the GVP 286 graphics fast enough to be useful.

Eventhough a more modern IDE controller is very nice, having a SCSI around in an Amiga particularly the older school ECS and earlier is useful.

Oh one other thing, has anyone seen, used, or own the vampire a500 adapter for the A2000 cpu slot??

I think they were talking about hardware emulator boards like a Bridgeboard.

Yeah, I was referring to an actual hardware bridgeboard like a A2386sx.  I am lucky to have one with a 486slc and a couple of ISA cards.  It would be interesting if the bridgeboards were compatible with the vampire.  They, the bridgeboards, can be a bit finicky with some non-standard accelerators and zorro cards, it usuallly is a problem with overlap in the 24 bit address space or DMA issues, which should not be a problem with the vampire.

Maybe a couple months from now when I get my vampire 500 I can check it out and post it here.
