  1. 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?

  5. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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
