I am thinking on adding a PiStorm to my A500. Mainly for the memory up-grade. I just added AmigaOSv3.2 and now I don't have enough memeory. Any thoughts on this?

I have a PiStorm ordered for my A1200. Can't wait until it gets here. I will up-date the outcome once it is installed.

My PiStorm is in. Man what a difference. I will soon be trying C-Net BBS on my A1200. But first I have to get it to use the Pi's HDMI port for video. A few steps I see I still need to do. Also I need to figure out how to get the USB port to recognize when I pop in a SD card.

Its a Pi on a controller installed in an Amiga to allow it to run faster and have more memory. Also, I can use the HDMI output to hook my A1200 up to a TV. So far its working very well!

That's pretty cool. This also looks like a cool option - http://retrogamecoders.com/raspberry-pi-amiga-emulation/

My A1200 runs great with the new PiStorm in it, my A500 on the otherhand need a repair. Its no longer working. It did for a little a few days, but I am not sure what happened. Its currently put away. Winter is coming and I will break it out again and see if I can figure it out. If not, I may have to ship it out for repairs. Any suggestions on where?
