Whip up a PiStorm with your Amiga 500 and Raspberry Pi

The Amiga was one of my first computers, and now I'm fortunate enough to own an Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 with various add-ons. Though I have to do some repair to get the disk drive working again (aging capacitors) I'm keeping an eye on the custom hardware scene for it, of which it is pretty plentiful because it's very hackable.

 

Along comes an Altera based interface board that replaces the boot ROM of the Amiga 500 and uses a Raspberry Pi to load up the necessary parts to instruct the Amiga what to do - this has a lot of potential for getting the Amiga to run in ways which it hasn't done before:

    Cool. I had been checking into the PiStorm, but unfortunately I have an Amiga 1000, which doesn't seem to be supported.

    That is not true! The Amiga 1000 works GREAT with the PiStorm. Check out Chris Edwards video post just yesterday! (592) Amiga 1000 PiStorm !NO MORE KICKSTART DISKS! - YouTube
