Vampire 1200 V2 accelerator board

Vampire 1200 in version 2 is one of the fastest accelerators for the Amiga 1200 and additionally equipped with IDE port, graphics card and network.

The heart of Vampire is an FPGA with Apollo core, which can display a code-compatible Motorola M68K processor. The 68080 thus reaches the multiple speed of a 68060. The following values were determined with SysInfo: 153.71 MIPS / 81.67 MFLOPS / 147255 Dhrystones.

Furthermore, the system contains a SAGA GFX core with which the Amiga can display 24/32bit Truecolor in a resolution up to 1920 x 1080 pixels and output it via digital output (HDMI) to a TFT monitor. An ENC28J60 connector for network module and a 44-pin IDE port with a transfer rate of up to 14 MB/s complete the system.
