PiStorm Adaptor Amiga A500 – A500 Plus

£41.66 Ex. VAT

PiStorm Adaptor is designed to connect to the Raspberry Pi 3A + (not included but available as an option below). Placed in the DIP64 (CPU) socket of your Amiga A500, A500 Plus or A2000 in conjunction with the Raspberry Pi, it can emulate the operation of the 68020/68030/68040 processor. The software running on PiOS greatly extends the functionality of the Amiga – adding FAST memory, RTG (graphics card) and a network card. PiStorm is designed for Amiga computers (A500 / A500 Plus / A1500 / A2000), but should work with any 16-bit computer equipped with a 68000 CPU socket (FC adapter lines are not currently used / supported by firmware and cannot be guaranteed to work properly on systems with use them). Overall performance with the current use of “Musashi” as a 68k processor emulator is around 70-80 MHz 68030.

This adapter requires:

  • Raspberry Pi model 3A
  • 32Gb SD Card configured to boot in to WB

All available as an option below

FrameThrower Amiga A500 A2000 for PiStorm
FrameThrower PiStorm for Amiga A500 A2000

FrameThrower PiStorm for the Amiga A500 A2000 adapter allows the Amiga 500 and 2000 to output Retargetable Graphics (RTG) desktop like displayed from AmiKit and native Amiga screen modes (essential for playing classic games from floppy disk or WHDLoad) to a single modern HDMI output.

The adaptor fits into the Denise socket of the Amiga 500/2000 and the Denise chip is plugged into the adapter, this is then connected to the PiStorm using an FPC cable (included for A500). This enables RGB output directly from the Denise chip through HDMI, eliminating the need for a second monitor connection via RGB or a separate HDMI adapter, so no need to switch outputs when using high resolution RTG workbench and whdload games for example.

NOTE: Sound output isn't available yet, but it's expected to be added in a future software update and Amiga A500 A2000 Pistorm is required

Once completed it is dried and a full diagnostic test is completed. Each unit is thoroughly inspected make sure the Amiga 500 worked as it did when it first came from the factory back in the 1980’s.   What is Ultrasonic cleaning? Ultrasonic cleaning is a process that uses ultrasound (usually from 20–40 kHz) to agitate a fluid, this fluid is made up for this specific job which is to clean and remove any flux left over from recapping. We use deionised water (deionized depending where your from) and professional grade PCB cleaner.
