  1. This might be the answer for what I've been trying to do - but not quite as I envisioned. Apparently this PiStorm68K v1.8 Special Edition hasn't been fully tested in Amigas, but it's designed for the minimig. It keeps a 68000 on board w/ physical switch to fall back on.

    Debating getting this for my Amiga 2000.

    Anyone out there using one of these in an Amiga? (I'm looking for an affordable Amiga 2000 accelerator that can fall back to 100% base 68000 mode.)

  2. I have an Amiga 2000 and would like to add a PiStorm accelerator to it - but I want to slot it into the CPU slot on the motherboard with a CPUslot-to-64pinDIP adapter, several of which are currently available out there for purchase.

    Critically, I want to be able to disable the PiStorm sitting in the CPU slot for 100% fallback to the original 68000 on the motherboard.

    Is anyone aware of a CPU slot adapter capable of fully disabling the CPU in the slot?

    I see this unit which has a DIP switch for E-clock and _BOSS which, I believe, control what I'm trying to do. I suppose I could remove the jumper and replace with cabled switches. Any issue with this?

  3. New Mechanical Keyboards from AMIGAstore for the A1200

    After extensive research and development, AMIGAstore has launched a new series of high-quality mechanical keyboards, designed by Sergiusz specifically for the Commodore AMIGA A1200. These keyboards offer a superior experience compared to the original membrane keyboards, making them an ideal choice for those seeking
    improved precision, durability, and tactile feedback, or simply looking to replace their old original keyboard. Thanks to mechanical switch technology, each key is equipped with individual switches, ensuring greater reliability and much more precise performance.

    One of the standout models is the Kailh Brown, which offers tactile feedback without an audible click. With an actuation force of 45g and a total travel distance of 4.0 mm, Kailh Brown switches provide a smooth bump sensation upon reaching the actuation point. These switches have an impressive durability of approximately 70 million
    keystrokes, ensuring a long lifespan for those who want a keyboard that will last for years.

    Another available model is the Kailh Red, which is characterized by its linear action. With an actuation force of 45g and a total travel of 4.0 mm, Kailh Red switches offer smooth and uninterrupted movement, free of bumps or resistance. Like the Kailh Brown, these switches also have a 70-million-keystroke lifespan, making them a highly durable option for A1200 users looking for a fluid and precise experience. The Kailh Blue model, on the other hand, stands out for its tactile feedback combined with a distinctive click sound. With an actuation force of 50g and a total travel
    distance of 4.0 mm, these switches produce a characteristic clicking sound when pressed, providing a clear auditory and tactile indication that the key has been activated. Just like the other models, Kailh Blue switches also have a 70-millionkeystroke lifespan, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance.
