#AmigApril
Some weeks ago I got a little upgrade for this A1200. I had an RasPi3 laying around, so I bought a PiStorm extension board for the Miggy. And this thing is wild.
It is like every other turbo card for the A1200. It is placed in the trapdoor and replaces the CPU, extends the memory and does a lot more stuff. But instead of a faster 680x0 CPU or a FPGA (both very expensive) there is a Rasberry Pi, that emulates a super fast 680x0 CPU in software.
Think about it. There is original hardware, but the CPU is software-emulated by another computer. And that emulation is faster than any original CPU ever has been. That's completely wild.
