| Hello Vampires! I like to share a sneak preview of V4BootLoader-V2.0 (V4BL) planned for release on 10-10-2020. V4BL is a multi-boot framework allowing you to install and boot ApolloOS, Coffin, AmiKIT-XE, AOS1.3, AOS3.1, AOS3.9, AOS3.1.4.1, AROS and EmuTOS from one single 64Gb CF-Card. If you like this idea, please share with all your favorite Amiga channels/forums. Feedback/tips and registration to receive download link on 10-10-2020 to: willemdrijver@mac.com Have FUN!

| V1200 is on the roadmap after release for V4. I will have to install my own V1200 first (its lying around and I don't have the time...) and see what changes to be made, but I cannot imagine that there is much difference. So a little patience :-).

| @James: No, I am sorry.
I will release on 10-10 the version to a small number of people that have registered by mail.
Bear in mind that this is NOT an official Apollo Team release, but only a hobby project.
So I wan't to manage support to the people who want to use it and not burden the Apollo Team.
Please sent me a mail if you want to be one of the first group.

| Email sent on Sunday. Reminds me of a quote I heard once before: "One chip to rule them all!" It certainly came true at that point, and in this case, all definitely means "all that it takes for making computing fun again"!!

| A bit delayed but still, inevitable! This software rocks! At last, the only "swappable" thing concerning V4 would be uploading subsequent cores... ...and speaking of it, PlexiLaser delivers a fine V4SA cover which has the Blaster cable IN, put towards the cover (as a port), which makes any core update not requiring dismantling, unscrewing anything etc. The said cover, used to have more upgrades (other ports, LEDs) but this is unfortunately discontinued. As I got it lately and had assembled, I can only recommend this solution, especially to all Vampire users that will use the Boot Loader option! EXTERNAL LINK

| So, it is a fact now. After previous successes, now installing seventh (out of eight) Amiga OSes supported! Hope that creators of AmigaSYS, ClassicWB or AiaB would join the party! A recent video (manual) here: EXTERNAL LINK
