Why There Is No Vampire 1200 Support?

I bought The vampire 1200 and 600 and it was very hard for me to find the necessary files for them. There is nothing in the Download section for those cards.

As someone who bought accelerators for the first time I hoped to find a good tutorial and a download page that is clear to understand. I was sorry to find out it's not the case.

I have problems with my amiga since I've installed the vampire 1200. at first, it asked me to install the necessary drivers, which I did, and after that, it started to give me a guru meditation message on booting, and after the message it boots.

How many years is this ago, that you bought them?
Both cards are discontinued as you know.

Please note that we do not produce and not sell V2 products anymore since 2021 as the used Cyclone 3 FPGA on it, can not be purchased anymore from the manufacturer.
 
You can only get these chips on china black markets, and you might get refurbished or fake chips there.
As you will know refurbished chips are not reliable and might have a unpredictable short lifetime.
We of course do not want our customers to have an unreliable product therefore it makes no sense to produce the V2 anymore.
