Let us try to answer some open questions
and explain some facts which might not be obvious.
APOLLO 680080 is a very long time planned project.

The development on Apollo is continues since over 8 years now.
All the features of Apollo were planned long time ago and we are executing this plan.

This means our developments,  also on features which might not be announced yet, is going on since very long time.

Apollo is currently about 10-20 times faster than "other" FPGA-68K cores.
According to Mac Emulator developers like Jim Drew, Apollo is  the only FPGA 680x0 Core which is fully compatible to allow execution of MAC OS - all other FPGA cores fail on this.

Also if you look at features like the FPU - you have to mind that there is an development effort of several years behind this.

Its of course very easy to "wish" for something here in the forum. But you have to realistically see that the Apollo team will continue to finish the planned and already started tasks.

And even simple stuff like an 68K compatible MMU might only need a few month to develop - if we work on other already started tasks - we will not just pop in 3 month of work for an MMU for little benefit to the whole community.

All developments need to make sense.
And frankly we have a have a todo list for the next year already.

Regarding the ATARI.

That the Vampire card fit physically well into the ATARI is nice. This means we can provide Vampire to ATARI fans for not that much effort.

Which means that the ATARI fans could get easy access to most compatible 68k FPGA core and the worlds most advanced 68K CPU.

That the original Video logic is very simple in design - could allow us to include it into SAGA for only few days of work.
It might be that Videl and SAGA have a lot in common and that making SAGA look to ATARI like Videl is also very simple.

But this does not mean that we plan to include whole ATARI/FALCON designs now. 
We might at some point - but do not hold your breath for this.

So if you want to use the Vampire in ATARI and want to help develop driver etc - we will welcome this.

We are also working on several new hardware cards.
Also we will bring out a Light weight Natami (tm) very soon.
Here the addition of a complete ATARI chipset might make a lot of sense.
