Majista had some issue with the customs in his country as regards the vampire boards; he does not have a company; apparently, and other mishaps also occured. It seems that someone else may continue to produce vampire boards. Majista got 400+ orders and could not fulfill such numbers. He's working on a core of some sort atm.

I thought Kipper2K was working to assemble the boards?  Or did that plan fall through?  Shame, he's a great guy also!

Kipper2k did manufacture a bunch of boards. He did a hi quality job my board is from him

I believe the Vampire still comes with the 68000 TG68 core which works out of the box, even for beginners. Your ACA620EC is pretty nice and the Vampire with this core would not offer much if any performance gains (the 68020 is much stronger than the 68000 TG68 without caches per clock). Your ACA620EC supports 68020 compatible code which is a large advantage for applications and games. The Vampire has significantly more memory which may be worthwhile if you are trying to use larger applications but offers little for games. I wouldn't bother upgrading (or should we say side-grading for now) if I was you unless a better core is released.

Yes I'm dying for a new core without cache full 020 w/ ram many apps I need to run on this a600 need 020+

Yes! that version of LHA works. However its slow as hell (like a regular 7mhz 68000) Whats weird is Dopus 4 on both versions will extract the lha archive but then it crashes the machine. So i've been using shell for unarcing.

Apollo-team is working hard with the Phoenix-Core. It has already succeeded boot with KS1.3 to CLI window. However, I'm not sure will there be the full 020-support. In the meantime I recommend to use TG68.C-core version 0.2 (no cache - MC68000) and make sure that you have the latest public release of the Directory Opus 4.12: http://dopus.free.fr/files/CU_DirectoryOpus.zip

Hi all. just had a email from kipper and after a long time holding my breath it looks like my wait is over as I pay for the vampire Monday and he said he will get it in the post shortly so boy am I excited :laughing::laughing: best wishes Brian.

A fantastic piece of kit, I'm a bit disappointed though as I was one of those that registered interest months ago on the Amibay thread and received no reply.

Hi I too was registered for quite a while but thought some thing this good was worth waiting for in fact it was Oldsmobile_Mike who suggested I send kipper an email which was what I did and I came up lucky so if you are still not fixed up,below is kippers link if you want to email him,very best wishes Brian.

Most people on the list didnt get a follow up as majsta decided not to produce the boards and work on other projects. however, as you can see kipper is making boards.

having said this i want to tell you guys its pretty beta (the cores that is) we really need a stable 020 + core. Right now only 68k is stable , granted its 84mhz with 21mb fast!
