So I have a stock A1200 with 3.1 ROMs and CF flash hard drive. I am wanting to upgrade but I am very torn. Should I get an existing ACA accelerator and an Indivision AGA MK2cr scandoubler now or continue to wait for the Vampire 1200 and hope it makes an appearance someday.... Keeping in mind I am on a budget! I also toyed with the idea of grabbing a Mediator PCI 1200 but am leaning against that due to issues finding a case to drop it in.
Just looking for peoples opinions.
It sort of depends on what you want out of it. If you are thinking of a Mediator which means you want to likely add a graphics card sound card, network card...well Vampire will solve some of that.
I would say bang for buck Vampire will win hands down. You get RTG graphics, super fast 68K, probably pretty fast IDE, SD card access, lots of current development and improvements ongoing...for only 300 EUR or 350 EUR.
I've got a Vampire 500 on order for my A2000.
