A500 + Kipper2k + Indivision

[curtis]

Don't forget before kipper2 added the IDE interface he also had a 4MB and an 8MB board that was significantly smaller.  It fit quite nicely with an Indivision adapter.

Adding the IDE interface and the CF socket really made the bugger quite a bit bigger and more awkward to work with.

Adding the spacer socket works a charm and doesn't affect timing at all.

I have the 8MB kipper board for the A500 (no IDE) complete with CPU adapter. He also did two versions of an A600 RAM card too, for which I have the 4MB version.

@TheMagicM - Due to how busy kipper must be with the Vampires, you might get your CPU adapter quicker by placing a wanted ad on Amibay.

damn.   Well, I'll email him and see if he has any in stock just in case.  If not..honestly, I can wait for the Vampire.  I'll just finish putting together my A1200.

I have an A590 - worked when it was put away 15 years ago... make an offer. I'm in Australia.

Thanks.  Not interested.   I like the more modern solutions.

In that case I've owned two Picasso's in my life. Must be lucky!

The V2 A500 version I have for testing has:
44 pin IDE at 10 megs per sec
SD card Reader (driver is a work in progress)
128 Megs of the fastest Amiga ram ever
68080 AMMX Gold Core (free download)
110 MIPS as standard I believe 20/30% more speed if you opt for the BLACK EDITION.
32 bit Picasso 96 GFX card with HDMI out, full RTG compatability, requires HDMI amp and 50hz capable monitor.
A2000 Compatibility through an add on card
and they are working on the card yet so the features are not final but this is close. FPU, 16 bit audio and AGA in the works. Core is updated and worked on DAILY. It's amazing the amount of work being done here.
They not only dev the core they test vampire specialized software and the Mac Emulation is to die for.
Im not selling these I feel like I have a piece of computing history.

AGA?

So this will enable me to play AGA games on the A500?  But not when its released right?  Or is the 16bit audio and AGA planned for when its released also?

Any rough estimate on price when its released?  Maybe around the same price of the A600 version?

Well, they're done with the "losing money" business model! At least with the V2-A600. Good on Kipper!

I'd pay 250 EU for a Vampire board for the A500.  :-)
