PiStorm Adaptor Amiga A500 – A500 Plus
PiStorm Adaptor is designed to connect to the Raspberry Pi 3A + (not included but available as an option below). Placed in the DIP64 (CPU) socket of your Amiga A500, A500 Plus or A2000 in conjunction with the Raspberry Pi, it can emulate the operation of the 68020/68030/68040 processor. The software running on PiOS greatly extends the functionality of the Amiga - adding FAST memory, RTG (graphics card) and a network card. PiStorm is designed for Amiga computers (A500 / A500 Plus / A1500 / A2000), but should work with any 16-bit computer equipped with a 68000 CPU socket (FC adapter lines are not currently used / supported by firmware and cannot be guaranteed to work properly on systems with use them). Overall performance with the current use of "Musashi" as a 68k processor emulator is around 70-80 MHz 68030.

Amiga 500 Plus Mainboard Remake RAEMIXX500 PART BUILT
Amiga 500 Plus mainboard remake AKA Raemixx500 is a motherboard clone of the classic A500 Plus REV 8.1A made by SukkoPera and not to be confused with the A500 ++ (A500 Plus Plus). The Raemixx500 is a good alternative to replace your existing broken A500 Plus board using your custom chips or one that is plug and play and soaked tested with all the custom chips included.
The Raemixx500 board has had a few improvements added compared to the original A500 Plus board:
- Kickstart Switches - You can burn your Eproms and have 2 different kickstarts and use the jumpers or add switches to switch between kickstarts
- DF0 Switch - Again becoming a must for Amiga owners to have both a internal Gotek and external drive or vice-versa, best of both worlds!This is a fully built A500 Plus Raemixx500 board with all the custom chips and is plug and play, simply add your own kickstart rom or add one of the options below.
- Raemixx500 fully populated motherboard, NO Custom chips or ROM.
- Both bottom and top shield
- Kickstart Rom
- Screws/Hex Screws

Amiga A500 Composite/S-Video Output Module
Amiga A500 Composite/S-Video output module provides both Composite and and S-Video output via a extra PCB. This service provides the Composite/S-Video module and installation to your Amiga A500.
Installation does require the whole bottom half of the Amiga so the Composite/S-Video module can be installed.
What are the benefits of the Composite/S-Video module?
- No need for the large modulator sticking out of the back of the Amiga A500.
- Provides true composite video signal as the signal is directly from the RGB outputs.
- Provides true S-Video video signal as again is directly from the RGB outputs.
- Neat internal solution that provides both composite phono port and S-Video port (case modification is required and included in the service).
