I think the only non-autoconfig part of the Vampire is the RAM  addition.  And the reason it's done that way is because the chipset  functionality is being slowly but methodically absorbed into the SAGA  core.  Would anyone care for 128 Megs of Chip RAM?

Seriously,  https://vimeo.com/206380147 shows the V500 working with a Picasso IV  graphics card in an A2000.  https://vimeo.com/206998554 shows a Vampire  system running Chocolate Heretic using a Prisma Megamix Z2 sound card.   Memory cards work with it too, as do SCSI controllers and other old Z2  expansions.

I think they already added commands to inprove emulation speed, one emulator is in development I think
I think they were talking about hardware emulator boards like a Bridgeboard.
