A600: Vampire 600 - A new toy in town!
Well I guess many Amiga enthusiasts already know about Majsta and his first worldwide FPGA accelerator for the Amiga 600 called "Vampire 600".
The accelerator is really well designed and fitted really nice on my spare A600 motherboard.
As it's an 020 accelerator (at least on it's current FPGA core) I couldn't run my beefed 030 setup that I host on my main A600 beast (with ACA630) alas I used the already setup of ClassicWB Full that I was using on my Furia S628 accelerator.
I had not a single problem for Amiga recognizing the accelerator as you can see in the Early Startup Menu.
After that, ClassicWB booted just fine and ready to use! Wow 64MBs of memory was super sexy!
Ofc I couldn't stop by quickly firing up SysInfo to make some quick benchmarks :D
Not bad at all aye? I can't believe how well it performs with such short core development!
I really hope for more core improvements and speed increases in the future.
Some days ago I received my USB Blaster so I'm ready for some new upgrades :D
Stay tuned...
