Which Vampires are supported?

AmiKit XE works with any Amiga™ computer equipped with Apollo Vampire V2 card with core GOLD 2.12 or 2.13 with AmigaOS ROM in its core (not AROS). AmiKit XE was tested on Amiga 1200 with V1200, Amiga 500/1000/CDTV with V500 and Amiga 600 with V600.

What else do I need?

AmiKit does NOT include any AmigaOS files, Kickstart ROM nor Picasso96 graphics driver. You can get all required files from here, though. Once you supply those files, AmiKit will pick them up and install them automatically for you. For the LZX Edition or Image Edition of AmiKit, you also need your own CompactFlash card. For more information, install instructions and tricks & tips please check our QUICK GUIDE

Why does AmiKit XE cost money?

I spent an unbelievable amount of time and effort putting everything together, an enormous amount of work that included the following:

• A complete system re-design, including custom programs, enhanced functionality and overall integration
• Every included program has been pre-installed, pre-configured and integrated, and most include optimizations that go far beyond the default installation settings
• Extensive, fine-tuned UI enhancements, comprehensive testing and debugging specific to the Vampire version
• International travel to procure one of the first V4 units

Does it work on V4SA too?

Despite the official V4SA release in October 2019, the “V4+ core is currently in the developmental stage” as Apollo states on their website today (March 2021). Therefore be advised that the V4SA machine, according to our own extensive experience, is still NOT 100% Amiga compatible yet. As such, Vampire V4 Standalone is currently NOT supported. If you want to run AmiKit on V4SA anyway, it will work fine on core numbers 7383 and 7513 (including AmigaOS ROM, not AROS). However, to make it run on newer cores, some tweaking is required. See AmiKit V4 Core Support page for details.
