Introducing the PiStorm for the Amiga 500

The PiStorm itself is an adapter board intended to be paired with a Raspberry Pi Model 3A+. It goes in the DIP socket on and acts in place of the CPU, but functionality can be extended beyond simple CPU emulation.

Selling blank PCBs or derivatives on eBay or similar for excessive profit is frowned upon and may lead to forthcoming related projects being closed source.

This is not meant to discourage you from making PiStorm boards for others to enjoy, but for instance selling the product as a commercial item and then pawning off support to the community if something doesn't work is absolutely not good™.

While the PiStorm should work with any DIP socket 16-bit 68000-powered system, the FC lines are currently not properly handled and no guarantees can be made for it working on anything except an Amiga 500, 500+ and 2000.

General Performance with the current use of Musashi as the 68k CPU emulator is somewhere around a 70-80 MHz 68030.

The intended Raspberry Pi model to use with the PiStorm is Model 3A+. 3B+ works, but due to component clearance issues it will not fit unless the Pi itself is modified (USB ports replaced) or a GPIO spacer/relocator is installed.

The Raspberry Pi Zero and Model 2/4 cannot currently be used with the PiStorm, and support for these is not officially planned yet.
