PiStorm is a high performance, low cost accelerator for the Amiga 500 or Amiga 2000. It offers a range of amazing features at a budget price.
Features:
Speeds up your Amiga significantly
Provides additional Fast Memory ¹
Use MicroSD card media as a hard disk drive
Can be used as an RTG graphics card ²
Raspberry Pi plugs into the PiStorm adapter which in turn plugs into the Amiga's 68000 64-pin socket CPU socket, directly replacing the old 68000 chip. The attached Raspberry Pi emulates the 68000 CPU at much higher speeds than the original accelerating the Amiga. The Amiga's native chipset continue to operate as normal.
Pistorm is compatible with Commodore Amiga 500, Amiga 2000 or Amiga 1500 computer.
Pistorm requires these optional extras to operate:
■ Raspberry Pi 3 A
■ Micro SD card (we recommend a 32GB capacity) configured with
PiStorm files
Please note that the PiStorm is a community project and the
downloadable software/firmware files used with this adapter maybe experimental.
Choose and select product packaging options: either standard shipping box or optional printed retail box (see product pictures).
