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.

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.
PiStorm32 Lite for Amiga A1200 Adaptor Only
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!

*AmiKit Pistorm Edition requires AmigaOS 3.2 installation disks (ADF) and an internet connection, full details here.
** Wifi (wifipi.device) is still in alpha, which means that it can (and will) contain bugs. For this version you need to set up an unencrypted 2.4GHz wireless network (without a password). However, you can hide it in your router settings so that no one else can see it and connect to it. Future versions will bring WPA/WPA2 encryption.
