PiStorm 2K — Wake Your Amiga 2000 From the Dead

Your Amiga 2000 is a legend. It deserves to run like one.

The PiStorm 2K is a Raspberry Pi-powered CPU accelerator that transforms your classic A2000 into a screaming, modern-capable powerhouse — without sacrificing a drop of that vintage soul. Plug it in, load up Emu68, and watch your machine hit speeds 25× faster than a stock A500 (and then some). This isn’t a patch. This is a resurrection.

Powered by a Raspberry Pi 3A+ (not included), the PiStorm emulates the Motorola CPU family and takes over address/data line control entirely — breathing new life into aging silicon. Boot from the Pi’s SD card. Load custom Kickstarts. Mount virtual hard drives. Run WHDLoad titles, Amiga OS 3.2 and 3.9, demos, RTG software — almost everything short of AGA titles is now fair game on your OCS/ECS machine.

And this isn’t just any PiStorm board. The 2K edition is built from a next-generation design featuring BOSS lines and jumper-accessible hardware upgrade paths — meaning future firmware updates could unlock even more capability down the road. The CPLD-based architecture ensures the core itself can be patched, extended, and improved over time. Your investment grows with the project.

Every board ships tested — buptest-verified, real-machine confirmed on an Amiga 2000 Rev 4.2.

What You Get

• Blistering speed — 25×+ over stock, even more with Emu68
• 128MB of Fast RAM — because your Workbench deserves room to breathe
• Kickstart & virtual HDD loading from the Pi’s SD card
• RTG graphics via Raspberry Pi HDMI output
• SSH control — manage your Amiga over the network like it’s 2025
• Full Emu68 + PiStorm software support
• BOSS lines for future hardware-level upgrades via jumpers

A Few Things to Know

• Raspberry Pi 3A+ and SD card required — not included, but available separately
• 8372 Agnus chip and ≥1MB Chip RAM strongly recommended for best results
• Some software and hardware compatibility quirks are expected — it’s emulation, not magic (well, mostly magic)
• SD card setup guides are widely available online, and the seller is happy to help

Package includes the PiStorm 2K board only. Raspberry Pi sold separately.
