When I remember how much I was struggling with parts, designs and how much time is spend to see this working it makes me sad to see things like this:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Amiga-600-Vampire-600-V2-with-128-MB-of-RAM-/262612824686?hash=item3d24f1b26e:g:354AAOSwdIFXz1pUBut, those are things you can't stop and anyway money earns not the one who worked hard. Instead money always goes to someone else. But as I said money is not the point in Vampire project. Or is it? Right now I m struggling to finance V1200 project, in fact right now I m struggling to finance any future projects. It is doable but on the edge because my bitcoin stock. All of this makes me wonder did I calculated everything right. With just few sales like this one I could finance connectors or anything I want. Instead of that I need to solder 6-7 cards who are sold together at the same value as this one but with zero profit, in fact not zero but with total losses. Don't ask me how I get bunch of FPGA at lower prices, because it was pure luck and that's why I was able to sell cards at 90Eur, played fair. Now I m wondering what is kipper2k doing, man is in constant loses also unable to finance future development. How much BigGun and ceiach earned also zero, at least I was able to buy myself oscilloscope from the money left, also I got one as a present like bunch of other stuff. But to the point where tooling fees for connectors are in 4K USD range + price of the connectors I start to wonder where I made mistake. For sure there will be version of V500 who will be sold only on ebay and money earned will be used in future development's. That is the only way and my stock of cheap FPGA is nearly gone. I m an idiot, instead of selling cards and finance things with the profit I gave bunch of them for free, not even for 90Eur, yes you read it right I was giving away some cards for free for various reasons...
