It goes in the DIP socket on and acts in place of the CPU, but functionality can be extended beyond simple CPU emulation. * Hardware files are available in `PiStorm_RevB_EPM240_74LVC16373.zip`, but they may be out of date. Joining the Discord and checking for the latest revision/BoM for the PiStorm adapter board is recommended. -* Selling blank PCBs or derivatives on eBay or similar for excessive profit is frowned upon and may lead to forthcoming related projects being closed source. -* This is not meant to discourage you from making PiStorm boards for others to enjoy, but for instance selling the product as a commercial item and then pawning off support to the community if something doesn't work is absolutely not good™. * While the PiStorm should work with any DIP socket 16-bit 68000-powered system, the FC lines are currently not properly handled and no guarantees can be made for it working on anything except an Amiga 500, 500+ and 2000. * General Performance with the current use of Musashi as the 68k CPU emulator is somewhere around a 70-80 MHz 68030. diff --git a/media/pistorm_banner.jpg b/media/pistorm_banner.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..01d3349 Binary files /dev/null and b/media/pistorm_banner.jpg differ
