PiStorm32 Lite A1200 with RPi 3A+, 64Gb SD Card

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 [kad_youtube url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BBU48cLuUc&t=109s" ] 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.

ACA1221LC 16Mb 68EC020 26.67Mhz Accelerator Amiga A1200

ACA1221LC accelerator Amiga A1200 and ACA500Plus comes with the 68EC020 processor (guaranteed to run at 26.67MHz) and 16MBytes physical memory. 11.2MBytes of this physical memory can be used as fastmem, and 1 MByte is reserved for a fast copy of the Kickstart ROM. The CPU speed can be switched in four steps between 14MHz and 40MHz. Overclocking the card beyond 26.67MHz will require active cooling and a very good power supply like the A1200 Boost PSU or the highly specced CA-PSU ; operation at this high speed is not guaranteed. The ACA1221lc features iComps IDE speeder technology that accelerates reading from the internal IDE port, this IDE speeder does not require opening the computer or even removing chips from their socket. The IDE speedup to PIO mode 3 is activated with a software setting and reaches a raw data transfer rate of 10.2 MBytes per second, which results in every-day performance of 3.6MBytes/s with fast CF cards. Fast hard drives with cache may exceed 7MBytes/s performance. The IDE speeder feature is not available if connected to an ACA500 or ACA500plus. The ACA1221lc is prepared for use with our forthcoming ACA2000, where it will provide up to 11.9MBytes of fastmem. More memory configurations allow for using Zorro cards without conflicts. ACATool is required to unlock some of the features like:

MapROM - Load up other kickstart roms like AmigaOS 3.2 without the need of physical ROMS
Loading of the onboard Kickstart ROM file without losing valuable RAM
Control the IDE speeder,

And much more!
