Sorry for the delay in posts but I have been very busy with work and also my replacement AmigaOne X1000 has failed and will no longer boot up which has resulted in everything else stopping pretty much as I have been trying to work out what was wrong with it.
Hi all,
This is how to upgrade a Cyberstorm 68040 Accelerator for the Amiga 3000/4000 to 68060.
I got a A4000 motherboard and Cyberstorm MK2 040 sent to me from my friend Klementino from Croatia to be repaired and maybe do something with the Cyberstorm, so why not max it out?
The Cyberstorm Acceleratorcars are the best accelerators for big box Amigas and it for sure is a beaty:
Hi again,
Another quick post here. ShK has shared a video on Vimeo showing his Amiga 600 with Vampire II browsing the web and listening to Internet radio! Wow!
Accelerator: Vampire 600 V2
Video: 720p 16-bit Digital video out
Audio: Delfina Flipper DSP
Ethernet: D-Link PCMCIA cnet device

Hi guys,
I never get tired of seeing the Vampire II in action. A YouTuber called Flype44 has now uploaded several videos showing his Vampire-powered Amiga 600 burning rubber. Please have a look at the videos below and enjoy!
First up is two videos showing 194x, an SDL-game on M68K with RTG driver + Sound.
So I’ve managed to get a semi-working test pattern image up on the LCD.
Here are a couple shots:
Hi there,
The Amiga community is boiling with enthusiasm concerning the Vampire II turbo-card. It’s easy to understand, because this card boosts the A600 like never before! Below you’ll find two videos of Renaud Schweingruber playing videos on his Amiga 600. One Futurama and one manga.
Hi everyone,
Old School Game Blog has been listed in a top 50 gaming blogs list. Got spot 33. :) Very happy about that! Thanks to Rebateszone for including my blog. :)

Hi folks,
With the Vampire V2, your A600 will be much faster than an Amiga 4000 with 040 CPU.
Hi everyone,
So I was having trouble getting the LCD working initially, so I ended up probing a working HDMI to LCD converter board sold by adafruit. You see, this board was driving my LCD just fine, but my FPGA couldn’t do diddly. So I wanted to see what I was missing.
This proved more difficult because of these 40-pin FPC connectors. Not sure what the pitch is, but it’s really freakin’ close together.
With a lighted magnifier (3x diopter?), and sharp o’scope probe, I was able to isolate individual pins on the 40-pin, long enough to hit the stop button on the scope.
Here’s an image showing a ROM monitor VUBUG running on the J68 softcore, which is in turn running on a BEMICRO Max 10 FPGA board.
VUBUG will be used until we can get our own (unwritten, so far) custom code booting!
So the Altera Max 10 FPGA we’re using has 256kbits of User Flash Memory. This is non-volatile memory that is built into the actual FPGA itself. This means you don’t need any external memory to get the FPGA to boot itself.
