    Computers: 1. Commodore 64 Pi1541 - emulates 1541 floppy drive for Commodore 64. Video review 2. Amiga RGB2HDMI - convert Amiga's RGB video signal into friendly HDMI output. Video review 3. Amiga Pistorm - emulates faster version of Motorola 68000 CPU. Theoretically, can be used in any machine that uses 68k chip. But I hear mostly about Amiga Pistorm implementation. Basically, Pi Zero emulates faster CPU, video modes, acts as HDD storage, HDMI output etc. Pistorm does what popular Amiga accelerator boards do for hundreds of space bucks. Video review

    What fun! It's so good to see these systems still in use.

    The Amiga community never fails to impress. In addition to modern updates to AmigaDOS (3.2.1 is great), there are projects to replace battery damaged motherboards, to replace hard-to-find custom chips, to offer brand new accelerators, and to even use a Raspberry Pi as an inexpensive accelerator (https://github.com/captain-amygdala/pistorm) for those on a budget.

  • You can't buy a Raspberry Pi

    2 years to get a PiStorm amiga accelerator at a decent price (https://github.com/captain-amygdala/pistorm) due to chip shortage.

    Finally managed to get 3 PiStorm boards (for a more decent price than the scams off ebay), but I have only one Pi 3B, and the 3A+ or Zero 2 are nowhere to be found

    Only option is to buy 3B/B+ which are a little more common, at 3x+ the price, and unsolder the usb connector.

    Sure feels like back in the amiga days when I was waiting for the Emplant to emulate a PC and whatnot... or waiting for Gateway, Escom, etc... to do something useful...

    Come to think of it, it's a perfect retro experience WITH post-1994 frustrations of waiting with constant hopes and failures as a bonus :)

    This isn't a Raspberry Pi powered Amiga. (Which is a thing, see PiStorm: https://github.com/captain-amygdala/pistorm)

    This is just a Raspberry Pi running an emulator. Any computer could do this.
