Release 2.14 is available for V500 Accelerators.
This release gives you the latest Core improvements and comes bundled with ApolloRom.
Using the Bootloader any AmigaOS can be loaded and of course you can run our ApolloOS distro:

The update of Vampire BootLoader (VBL) with support for the Vampire V2 family will become available in April as part of the overall R6
Current Releases Notes;
- Officially integrated in the Apollo Vampire product family - Development and Releases synced with Apollo Roadmap - Renamed to Vampire BootLoader (VBL) with new logo - Support for new V4 Core R6 and ApolloOS R6 - Support for Vampire V2 Series (V500, V600 and V1200) - Dynamic switch between V2 and V4 with same CF-Card - Improved UAE Turbo Install process - New OS Partition for Classic Mac OS
This is for emulation purposes? Nice touch. I suppose MacOS 8.1 is supported

Updated and it does not boot from the hd (StarTech CF adapter). It shows the ApolloRom and the early boot menu does not find any drive other than the fd. Reverted back to 7319_x13 and everything works fine again.

I believe my A500 boots since there is prolonged CF access. I am trying the Apollo OS image (Release 5B). I get the boot screen if I remove the CF. Unfortunately, there is no display from Vampire's DIGITAL-VIDEO once the boot process finishes. The native Amiga out displays a white screen. Like I said, I assume it is booting from the CF since the access led flashes as usual.

@Allan Versaevel it is slow since this is first beta release but it should boot. I think that on your side problem is with default selected resolution. Try to boot holding shift and you will get ApolloOS on native out then try to change resolution. I had the same problem.

Holding shift works indeed. Like the idea of running the same os on my v4 and v2. The 1280x720 modes dont seem to work on ApolloOs, but it does work on coffin. Cant seem to find a way to fix this ;(
