  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.)

  3. 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?

  7. Amiga people: Do any of the new accelerators that work with the Amiga 2000 allow fallback to the original 68000 by way of a PHYSICAL SWITCH or jumper?

    I want an accelerator that can be disabled (without using soft-menus to control the state) so that the Amiga is able to fall back to its 100% exact original 68000 state, which some demos require to run properly, due to cycle-precise coding.

    I have an A2620 68020 accelerator in my NTSC A2000, but it does not have a physical switch (just a soft menu) and the state gets lost when I juggle that soft menu and the need to also use Degrader to reboot into PAL mode.

    Apparently the A2620 can be modified to add a switch, but it's beyond my abilities.

    Many thanks.

  9. If anyone needs a #CommodoreAmiga IFF ILBM image viewer for their #Wayland desktop (I use #Hyprland), I put one together as a nice self-contained #C application. It also has #nautilus and #XDG integration.

  11. Oh, I’ve just rediscovered one of my early and favourite tools from the 80s ... CLImate 🥰 long before I stumbled over DirectoryOpus, if I remember the name correctly 🙏 did you use it too? #amiga #commodoreamiga

  13. A1200.net's #Amiga1200 cases appears to have opened for pre-order on Juli 2 with 800+ votes.

    Need 600 pre-orders to launch production batch.
