APOLLO CORE 68080

The Apollo Project mission statement:
  • Provide Amiga users with products that will upgrade all classic Amiga computer models to the best performance possible and provide them the Amiga features that Commodore always planned to give Amiga including 3D acceleration.
  • Revive the Amiga platform using the most advanced and higher performance CPU model 68080 of the excellent and programmer friendly 68K family.
  • Preserve and push the classic Amiga platform forward using technical expertise, modern tools, and a clear roadmap. This long term plan will take years and is focused on results.
  • Give classic Amiga users reasonably priced choice. Empower users with the opportunity to upgrade classic systems with the rich feature of the Super-AGA Amiga chipset included in V4 accelerators.

OLD TEST CARD - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NORMAL USAGE
Vampire V1 600 (year 2014)
CPU Accelerator for Amiga 600

  • Only limited Apollo 68080 CPU
    Performance is application dependent:
    up to ~ 200MHz 68030 / 100MHz 68040 / 50MHz 68060
  • CYCLONE 2 FPGA
  • FastKick
  • 64 MB Memory
The FPGA on this card is to small to hold the full 68080 CPU
Therefore many features in the CPU needed to be disabled.
Performance and compatibility of the card is therefore limited.
