Vampire 500 render

This pic has been kicking around on some of the Amiga Google+ pages recently.  Haven't seen anyone share it here yet, so here you go.  ;)

Nice :D I Have the vampire 1 for A600 so will skip the V2 vampire for it. But the Vampire board for A500 and A1200 is om my wish list :D

It looks like it would interfere with a Megachip in the A2000.  Too bad he couldn't just shift things down just 6mm or so.

The Viper 520/530 cards had a great design for that.  I've never seen one installed, but it looks like they'd just curl around the Megachip.  I was actually just thinking with the IDE header where it is, they must not be designing this with fallback capability for a normal 68000  (like most A500 accelerators have).  Interesting, am sure that'll upset some purists somewhere.  ;)

Edit: just realized you said 2000, not 500.  I think this is more targeted for 500's, hopefully they'll come up with a CPU slot version for 2000's. Hopefully one that won't kill the Zorro bus, in the process...

Yes, a Vampire2000 would be nice.

Will this have a pass-through connector for the existing 68000? It would be nice to be able to easily jump from the card to the original hardware.

No it wont have pass through for a 68000. It sits in the 68000 socket and an IDE header will be present between the pins of the connection with no place to put a 68000 on what is a pretty small card. This is an upgrade designed to replace the 68000 with something much, much better. If you want to carry on using old, badly written software that doesn't work on fast Amiga's then maybe the V500 isn't the accelerator for you.

I agree, it would be nice but I suppose I don't think you'd really miss the 68000 when it comes down to it.

No no, I want it :) I have been waiting for something like this for quite some time.
