I really want the disk drive support for V4. Any idea when it will be possible or what estimated year?

Thanks in advance.

A connector to attach an real Amiga Floppy drive to the V4 is currently in testing by the team.

This sounds like a cool solution for Vampire owners that want to test floppy drives on their Vampire V4/+.

Or even run games or apps directly from floppy disk! One can buy commercial Amiga games with box and disk and boot right to it that way! I love it!! Perfect!
