    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/
