Is it normal for people to leave circuit boards floating around inside computer cases?
It's something I'd never do, so I wouldn't buy that even of I wanted it.

What are those ball things on the motherboard oscillator? One looks like a solder ball, the other one looks brown.

LOL all these nit picks...you'd think we'd have bigger fish to fry :)

Anyway, isn't it the new 68080? You can't emulate something that doesn't already exist.

The Vampire is not a Blizzard or Apollo 1260. By this I simply mean that old and out of production hardware will always be objects of desire to collectors. They're priced high because they are rare and original 1990's hardware with real Motorola CPU's.
Even if the Vampire exceeded the 68060 performance by a factor of 1,000,000 times, it still wouldn't affect the cost of those original 68060 cards in todays second hand market. The Vampire market and the 'authentically classic' market can and will co-exist together.

Vampire is a great product without a shadow of a doubt, I hope it will take the Amiga forwards onto great things.

That's terrible news. I think he should name and shame those ars* holes and publish their emails for all to see.

I've bought a number of products from Brian for my A500 and A600, which were fantastic may I add, and now we shall not be able to get these any longer thanks to the childish and impatient and frankly sickening behaviour of MANY individuals, whom the Amiga community would surely be better off without. I hope their capacitors leak all over their A600 motherboards.
