Dear Supporters

Well this took longer than expected to make but I hope you agree the end result is a worthwhile solution to a little problem that has frustrated many of us Amiga users. It's incredible what can still be done to improve 35 year old machines!

So, waiting for delivery until 2022 or buy 2000+ parts at Mouser, DigiKey, Farnell, ...

It is a funny thing ... As the Amiga 500 came to market, everybody was saying "It is a giant leap in performance and speed" ... In reallity it took at least the time to load the workbench disk. Today we put a little quad-core SoC that can emulate the whole Amiga 500 and complain that, it takes 9 seconds to boot into RGB2HDMI or 25 seconds boot to the commandline ... Don't you think that, the kind of thinking is ablittle bit odd?

In a way I see what you mean. If the PiStorm made A500 floppy sounds and showed a Workbench while booting I’d be fine with it. It’s the fact that it is a Linux boot screen that for me really detracts from the nostalgia that is the reason I have the real hardware. It’s not a good synergy.
