Hi Everyone,
Firstly a tremendous thank you to all in the Apollo / Vampire team. I believe that thanks to you the Amiga has a future once again, which is a very exciting prospect!

I have a rev 5 A500 that's eagerly anticipating its upgrade, which leads me to a quick question:

With the Vampire 2 installed will it still be necessary to perform the 1MB chip RAM hack in order to run WHDLoad, or will the original chip RAM be obsoleted by the Vampire?

From what i have heard Apollo team plan to add "native" graphics mode over DIGITAL-VIDEO. SAGA with native screenmodes does not need the "real" chipmem and take the memory from the vampires main memory.
