Apollo Core and FPGA Space

Hello.
  I'm enjoying my Vampire 600 v2, but I was wondering how much space is still available in the FPGA for the remaining features Team Apollo are hoping to implement. FPU, AGA, sound...
 
  I know the original Cyclone II was filled to 100%, but can we put a percentage to the Cyclone III?
 
  Thanks for all the hard work so far.

Hey Neil,

If you look at the power of the FPGA card available for AMIGAs  then the VAMPIRE-1 and the MiniMig, were at the low end.
MIST, and ARCADE are middle,
while VAMPIRE-2 has the best / biggest FPGA sold for AMIGAs.

So if you have a VAMPIRE-2 then you have certainly the most powerful FPGA available for AMIGAs.

Right now the FPGA is _NOT_ full yet.
In other words you did paid for more FPGA space then you could yet use :-(

But no worry we will work on adding more stuff for you!

Perfect, thanks for clearing that up Gunner
