Is this still the case? I'm receiving my Vampire 500 v2+ with an adapter shortly and I'm wondering if I still have to remove KickROM 3.1 and the original 68000 CPU from the sockets (using an Amiga 2000 Rev 6.2). It would be nice if everything could be left in place, so that I just need to remove the Adapter+Vampire to get the A2000 to it's original state.
I have it in my rev 6.3 with the CPU adapter from Acill and have the 3.1 Kickstart, 68k CPU, 4xEIDE, DKB Megachip, Mnt 2000 video card, Deneb USB, and Ariadne Ethernet with no issues with update 2.5 on the Vampire.
