It's possible disable Vampire2 by software or pressing combination keys during startup? It's important if sometime i'll need use my A600 as a real A600 specs. We usually use the A600 standard to test some of my homebrew games with 68000 Amiga line. Install and uninstall Vampire board it's not a good idea .

I agree that if there is a simple way of doing it, it would be useful.
You can disable the vampire erasing the FPGA. You need the USB Blaster to do this

One solution would be to update Vampiretool. There could be two possible options: - Disable for only next warm boot - Disable until next cold boot
Of course this would likely require support in the core but that's really easy... ;^)

Actually I think we could add support for something like pressing FIRE-Button to disable the Vampire..

I am wonder whether is this possible to use Vampire and onboard processor simultaneously? I mean SMP mode... This can speedup Amiga with few percentage...

Great , if it's possible 2 or 3 boot options will be great:
Option 0- Default ( actual vampire boot with full features ) Option 1- Vampire disabled at all Option 2- Vampire disabled but use Vampire 3.1 kickstart Option 3- Vampire disabled, but kickstart 3.1 and fast ram avariable.

Not possible - all or nothing.

A key press on power on to disable would be nice. Kind of like the Blizzard cards. (press 2 on boot to disable card) Can this be done?

I'd really appreciate a feature like this also as I need to make sure my Productions work on a "Vanilla" Amiga.

But you have two fire buttons to scan ;) 4 if you count the second port :D

This quote states it would be possible to disable completely.

To erase the FPGA core requires a USB Blaster cable connected to another computer. It also won't work on a V500 since its CPU is removed when you install the Vampire.
