Tsunami 1230 Amiga 1200 Accelerator from Arananet which hosts a 68030 processor running at 42Mhz coupled with 64mb of fast ram, some say this is the spiritual successor to the classic Blizzard IV 68030 accelerator. The Tsunami 1230 Amiga 1200 is a brand new accelerator using modern 60EC030 CPU and modern ram.
The is a perfect add-on for the Amiga A1200 and is the sweet spot between cost and speed. And is the next step up after the 11Mb Ex1T Fast Ram add-on we sell for those that want that extra speed. 68882 PGA FPU can be added as an option below.
Full specs:
68EC030 QFP CPU at 42MHZ.
64MByte of fast-ram.
68882 FPU footprint ready and also selectable clock for overclocking the FPU. (FPU/Oscillator/Sockets NOT INCLUDED – OPTIONS BELOW)
External expansion port for future upgrades (secret stuff, can’t tell)
Clockport port (RTC only).
Compatible with any A1200 motherboard revision.
Fits in your old/new stock A1200 case!!!
A1100 friendly of course!
Prerequisites
Timing fix is strongly recommended on your A1200 motherboard. We can do this free of charge if you send your board to us (return shipping does need to be covered).
Kickstart ROM 3.1, 3.1.4, 3.2, 3.x or 3.9 (not compatible with 3.0).

PiStorm32-Lite A1200 is the full package which includes:
PiStorm32-Lite A1200 Adaptor
Raspberry Pi 3A+ Module
64Gb SD Card (Pre-installed kernel with EMU68) You will need a copy of Workbench 3.0 or above and a kickstart rom again 3.1 or above or send us an SD image and we will install and setup FOC.
3D printed RPi header protector
Once installed and setup you will have an implementation of MC68020/030/040 with FPU support, coupled with a fast implementation of the Emu68 CPU unit (Emu68 is a JIT emulator) written by Michal Schulz, thanks to it the system boots in a few seconds. Extra functionality is added (thanks to an additional RPi 3A+ module) with an HDMI port, so you can have Full HD video and around 340MB of Fast Ram.
Check out this video by Capt. LeChuck, Pistorm32-Lite with EMU68K
We also just sell the Pistorm32-Lite adaptor here, just add you own Raspberry Pi and SD Card.
NOTE: This is a open source project and will require some knowledge of the Amiga. The PiStorm adaptors are professionally manufactured, and a contribution to the developer is made.
A630 Rev 3 68030 50Mhz inc FPU Amiga A600 PURPLE EDITION is the latest revision of the A630 modern turbo card with the classic 68030 Motorola processor running at 50Mhz and also includes an onboard FPU. Perfect for that sweet spot in speed and usefulness for Demos, WHDLoad* gaming, internet and so on. This will give any A600 a great speedboost in a compact unit.
Full specs:
CPU MC68030, clocked on 50MHz.
FPU 68882FN40 – synchronous or asynchronous clocking.
64MB SDRAM Fast Ram.
Cooling: Active included.
PCMCIA Friendly.
PCB Colour – Purple
Important Information:
MMULib’s for the A630 Accelerator
The A630 Accelerator requires the installation of MMULib’s and it very important you use the right ones for the kickstart ROM you are using:
A1200 FPU upgrade (onboard) which includes socket, FPU and installation.
What does the modification do?
This FPU modification adds a real FPU to the A1200 motherboard, there has always been a place (U0) for an onboard FPU but it was never added. This is a perfect compliment for a stock A1200 or one with an accelerator without an FPU option, for example The TF1230 or any standard ram upgrade like the 11Mb Fast Ram upgrade. However there are a couple of limitations of adding an onboard FPU.
The FPU will be using the CPU clock which is at 14Mhz, which means the FPU will be running at 14Mhz
The FPU will be disabled if you use a 040 or 060 accelerator, for example TF1260. This is because both the 040 and 060 processors do not acknowledge external FPUs as you can get those processors with built in FPUs.
This modification is available as an option on our A1200 recapping service, ReAmiga 1200 and Refurbished units.
Like our recapping service, you would need to send us your A1200 motherboard only. Once you have ordered you will receive an automated email with where to send the board and how to pack it.
PiStorm32-Lite CM4 adaptor with expansion breakout with HDMI, Ethernet, USB. This is designed to be attached to the PiStorm32-lite adaptor to allow you add an Raspberry PI CM4 module.
What’s included:
CM4 Adapter (Allows connection of Expansion Breakout and Compute Module 4)
Passive Cooler
Expansion Breakout that provides HDMI, USB and Ethernet Ports
Flex wire 40Pin 20cm
Printed IO cover (3D printed)
We also just sell the Pistorm32-Lite kits with Raspberry Pi 3A+ here
NOTE: The PiStorm32-Lite CM4 product is an open source project and will require some knowledge of the Amiga
PiStorm32 Lite Adaptor for the Amiga A1200 is designed to connect one of the Raspberry Pi’s listed below (not included)
NOTE: We do sell a plug and play package here which includes PiStorm32-Lite, Raspberry Pi 3A & SD Card.
Once you add your own Raspberry Pi, setup an SD card and plug it in the trapdoor of the A1200 like all A1200 accelerators (TF1230 or TF1260) you will have an accelerated Amiga 1200!
Amiga A600 1Mb Chip Ram upgrade fits in the trapdoor of the Amiga 600. These cards are brand new and perfect in giving your Amiga 600 a little boost and compliments the Amiga 600 8Mb Fast ram upgrade as 2Mb chip ram is recommended if your looking to start using WHDLoad.
What is WHDLoad?
WHDLoad is a a solution where by the user can install hundreds of Amiga games on to a HDD/CF or SD card even if the game originally did not have the option of installing the game on to the internal HDD/CF/SD card. The vast majority of games have already been converted ready to go or you can create them yourself if you have the original game on a floppy disk/s. Also many great Amiga demos have been converted for WHDLoad.
Asahi Amiga A1200 Case Akuma Red manufactured by A1200.net
What’s included?
Top case including enhancements
Bottom case including enhancements
Enhanced bottom trapdoor with extra vents.
Enhanced rear trapdoor + extra plastic holder DVI / VGA shaped hole.
Rubber feet
Set of screws
How are these brand new?
In 2016 840 Amiga users made it possible in supporting a Kickstarter to reproduce the Amiga 1200 case, the new cases are made using Injection Molding manufacturing technique to produce top and bottom shells as well as trapdoors and parts. The process implies the use of 3 new moulds, the first one is for the top shell, second mould for the bottom shell and last one for trapdoors and parts, all produced using brand new moulds.
What is the Asahi Series of A1200 cases?
The Asahi series of A1200 cases are limited edition, once gone, they are gone. The word ‘Asahi’ is a Japanese word that means “morning” and “sunlight”. It is derived from the Japanese words asa meaning “morning” and hi meaning “sunlight”. The name symbolizes the start of a new day, and is associated with hope and new beginnings. The limited edition series are available in the following colours:
Akuma Red – The word ‘Akuma’ in Japanese means ‘Devil’. With Devil Red we reference the Red Demon. A historic figure and one of the four Guardians of the Tokugawa in Japanese history. This color Red is a very dark Wine Red but brightens up to a blood red when light emits through it.
Arashi Grey – The word ‘Arashi’ in Japanese means ‘Storm’. The case is a very dark grey, but when light emits through it turns into a brighter grey with clear blue accents.
Haruku Green – The word ‘Haruku’ is the Japanese word for ‘Hulk’. This is an ode to the big hulks of oaks you find in Japan. The case is a very dark green, but when light emits through it turns into a brighter richer green.
Shinkai Blue –The word ’Shinkai’ in Japanese means ‘Deep Sea/Ocean’ The case is a rich blue translucent which was close to the Commodore Blue but allow the right light and viewing angle to give it a dark purple hue. The blue brightens up when light emits through it.
Enhancements galore:
The Amiga community has never died and some have produced some great add-ons over the years to make sure the Amiga is still relevant and useful today as it was back in the 80’s/early 90s and these cases take full advantage of that weather that’s simply transferring your existing motherboard from your existing Amiga 1200 or have a luxury of installing a MiST FPGA Board. Below are few more enhancements:
MiST is a FPGA based modern board that implements classic 16bit computers like the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and 8bit systems like the Commodore 64, ZX-Spectrum, MSX, Atari XL/VCS, Apple II, Colecovision, Sega Master System, NES, SNES as well as Arcade machines. The primary difference between the MiST is that its NOT emulation.
The Amiga A1200 purple case has mounts to mount the MiST FPGA.
Keyrah V3 for the Amiga 1200/600, C64, VIC 20 and C16
Keyrah V3 is an IO adaptor that allows you to use the original keyboards of the Commodore Amiga 600 and 1200, Commodore 64, VIC-20 and C-16 within their respective cases. The purpose of this you can then install a Raspberry PI which uses the original keyboard of that computer and providing 2 x D9 ports. The new Amiga 1200 case has mounts are located at middle top of bottom shell. This location make the keyboard adapter available for Raspberry Pi or MiST board. Original Amiga 1200 keyboard ribbon will fit nicely just at the right place on the keyboard adapter board. I/O connectors are accessible through rear panel I/O slots.
So what are the differences with the original Commodore case?
All screws are secured with metal brass inserts. No more broken plastic clips.
The bottom trapdoor has extra vents for a better case air flow.
2 new rear trapdoors are available to accommodate VGA and DVI. The third one is a Plain door.
