Chuck Norris owns a Natami, but he'll kick your ass if you ask him about that project. :hammer:

Hey, at least Gunnar is trying to keep everybody informed about what he is into.
What's with all the ancillary questions?

What is the predicted price for the Vampire?


I have decided that the biggest technical problem for the Vampire is...





I don't own an A600 and never have.

In fact I have been trying to think up an excuse to buy an accellerator for An A500 or A2000 but I have no desire to accelerate those machines.  I only use old OCS/ECS machines to be 100000000% compatible with old games.

Seriously if I was going to buy an accellerator for an old ECS/OCS Amiga it would be for one of my A3000s.  My A3000 has an absolutely wonderful SCSI hard drive controller that magically loads data from Hard drive with around 0% CPU power.

My A3000 has 16MB of RAM which is a halfway barely usable amount.  It really needs more RAM.

My A3000 can "easily" be upgraded to have PCI slots with a Mediator.

My A3000 can then be easily upgraded to a 32-bit GFX card with 256MB of RAM which would be a barely usable amount if someone would fix the flaw in P96 that prevents the usage of half of that RAM.

An A3000 with PCI slots and a 256MB gfx card + an Apollo Accellerator would make a very nice gfx card machine.

Are there any plans to make an A3000 Apollo?


I could simply put my A3000s in the closet and get an Apollo for my A1200!  My A1200 already has the PCI slots!  My A1200 has a completely trashed out garbage HD interface called IDE.

What is the projected price range of the A1200 Apollo?

I'd consider a move up from my A2000's current 14 MHz '020, but I can't see owning another AGA/ECS machine either (so no A600).

Now if they do a similar device for an A1200...

The Vampire 600 is available for 90 €

The Vampire 600 is available for 90 %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364;

Only 90%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364; !!!!!

I see now that this is all just your evil plot to punish me for not buying an A600 when I had the chance.

BUG Report for Karlos:

The Euro symbol %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364; gets converted into %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364;
when editing a previously posted message.

Correction: The Euro symbol %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364; always gets converted into gibberish when posting a message.  At least when copying and pasting the symbol in with Chrome.

Now if they do a similar device for an A1200...

Yep, that would undoubtedly be a better proposition than the A600 model, if for no other reason than there are a lot more A1200s out there.

I'd certainly grab an A1200 version.

Just curious - why is the Vampire only available for the A600 (and A500?)?

Cheers,

Mike.

because one needs to start somewhere?

Anyone have Vampire600 and Indivision ECS with P96 driver to show off?

Yep good idea, forgotten about that.

Or how about one of these?

Or DOOM direct-chunky 256 color mode?

At the time the A600 user didn't have a lot of options whereas the A1200/3000/4000 users had quite a few cards to choose from.

Now the Vampire approach has been validated (high performance with low cost) then it makes sense to roll the same basic design out to all Amiga's.

Or Shapeshifter and MacOS8, would be a nice demonstration of CPU compatibility.

Someone already tried to run DigiBoosterPro 2.21, Prayer2, SongPlayer 1.53?

they didnt even have released cards for a500/a2k yet, give them (and people around them) time. i am very willing to wait before the design will be ironed out to get to the next level. and if the core becomes available for third party projects a whole movement might break loose.
