PiStorm for Amiga 500 Amiga 500+ and Amiga 2000

*Current PCB color: BLUE*

The PiStorm 500 Rev B uses a Raspberry Pi as processor accelerator/”turbo card”, RTG graphics card and as hard disk interface on the Amiga 500/2000.
A Raspberry Pi 3a+ is mandatory for operation, but is not included in the standard package.
However, this can be ordered from us as an option. Pistorm 500 is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3A+ and the Rapberry PI Zero2WH (lower performance).

The PiStorm was developed by the team around Claude Schwarz, Niklas Ekström and others. We are happy to provide some support for this outstanding project.

We manufacture the PiStorm adapters in House.
The video below shows how to connect the Lazarustorm board and how it then uses the PiStorm (thanks @Jan Beta)
The LazaruStorm was developed by Edu Arana. Details about the project can be found here => https://github.com/arananet/LAZARUSTORM
