@Olsen @Thor,
Is there plan to support the Vampire? SAGA, 16bits audio, AMMX1/2 ?

One update has already been done but what is the plan regarding pricing.
If I buy a new update of WB&KS are the update after them free?
If yes free until when? 3.2?

We are developers, not product managers. I cannot really say anything about pricing whatsoever.

Good. So I suppose that there's a plan to publish all developers information to date for the OS. Something like wiki.amigaos.net but for AmigaOS 3.1.x and maintain it if the developer API evolve. To my knowledge only 2.0 is covered by the RKRM.

This is definitely in the cards. For AmigaOS4 the complete 3rd RKM text was imported into MediaWiki (from the original manuscripts), revised and subsequently updated to cover AmigaOS4. The same could be done for AmigaOS 3.

However, getting everything revised and updated for AmigaOS4, including the illustrations, was a huge effort that took its time. So, please be patient...

 Sure but, when it was imported in the wiki all the docs where the 3rd RKRM with nothing specific to OS4, so it has already been done. Why not go back to the point of the first import? Except course if you do not share with them. Kamelito

Yes, that's the point I was making. However, importing the text is but just the first step of making the contents available.

For example, the illustrations need to be imported as well, which is a tad difficult. These are PostScript files, and a good number of these are missing and cannot be regenerated from the original Professional Page files due to corruption. For AmigaOS4 that problem was solved by redrawing the missing illustrations. The illustrations were then rendered to PNG image files.

If I remember correctly, the import process generated artefacts in the wiki text which had to be found and repaired manually, and then there's the issue with hyperlinks.

All of that was done for the AmigaOS4 version, and it's a time-consuming process which, while doable, requires a lot of effort.

 Fair enough, don't hesitate to ask for help for the wiki, I'm sure that many are willing to help.  Kamelito

There will be no vampire specific Kickstart. There will be neither a Cyberstorm specific Kickstart, nor a GVP specific Kickstart. If vampire wants to support customized device drivers, there are plenty methods how to add such devices to the system. Autoconfig is one option. Adding the devices to the F-space ROM is another.

For now it is an accelerator maybe, so what you're saying is right, but SAGA/Pamela add new customs registers like the original Amiga in the $DFFxxx space...so it seems logical that it could be part of the OS instead of having a solution like P96 or CGX no?
