Vampire II (A600) Review (YouTube)
« on: February 04, 2016, 04:22:14 AM »
Hey guys,

I found this review of the Vampire II showing some comparisons and benchmarks against an 060. I'm amazed! I've been on the fence about buying one but this might push me over the edge!

Pretty cool.  I wish I still had my a600 (which had an mtec 030 in it) now that things are developing.

I had an a1200t +blizzard060/ppc/240 back in the day (2004ish) with xsurf which was exceptional.

hope there's an A1200 version in the works, because I have a magic pack that is waiting for some goodness.

Thanks for the link. Very nice review, so ended up subscribing to that channel. Also, Im starting to get the urge to buy an A600.

Seems like A600s have skyrocketed in price over the last few years :(

Just watched the review.

FPGA is the future of Amiga, not PPC, which along with ColdFire is laughably expensive for the few native programs available for it. This looks to be pretty much plug and play like any other 68K accelerator. :) When the FPU is activated, it will run even faster. *Bravo*, Majsta and the Apollo guys! I can't wait for the 1200 and 4000 Vampires. ^^

Now if only we could legally advance the classic AmigaOS to (slightly) more contemporary functionality using the higher speed!

It would be great if AROS became the new standard OS for 68K.
