| Good morning everyone!
I've been keeping an eye on Vampire V4 standalone since the beginning of the year, but I have some more questions and I can't find any answer, I hope you could help me and this is the right section.
1) Does the V4 support combined keyboards with trackpad, since it has determined ports for mouse and keyboard?
2) Since there are those ports, could be possible to connect usb hubs and use external DVD/Floppy dives?
3)There's and add-on for real time clock. Does something similar for wi-fi (I saw it exists on expansion cards for Amiga)?
4) Has enyone tried AmigaOS 3.2 on this machine? Maybe with preconfigured CF Cards like those sold online?
Thanks in advance.

| 1. I bet the device won't work : https://wiki.apollo-accelerators.com/doku.php/vampire:compatible_usb_input
2. No
3. In the wiki is a RTC-modul, but this modul is not available. On amazon there is another RTC-modul that works, but not official supported. Don't know about wifi-modules that works with V4.
4. Yes, works fine.

2) The USB ports are for using Keyboard, Mouse and Joypad
3) The V4 can be ordered with RTC module included.
4) KICK 3.2 works normally

| Thank you for your answers, I'm having a better vision of the machine, now. :)
So there still no chance to have wi-fi, but I think as long as there's the Ethernet port the OS can be kept up to date.
What about transferring and installing software? Is there a port capable to read pendrive or I have to load it on MicroSD?
Are floppy images natively managed by Apollo OS?Just a little off topic: how ca I change my avatar? Can't see any profile management panel... ^^"

| On the wifi front, I've had good success using one of these with the Vampire (using a USB power supply for it):

Ah, I saw one of these once! They receive the signal and redirect it via Ethernet, right?
