`30.Jan.2021`	Raspberry Pi as m68000 replacement: PiStorm Claude Schwarz' 'PiStorm' connects a Raspberry Pi to a CPU socket of an A500, A1000 or A2000 using an adapter for emulating a fast m68k processor. In contrary to the Buffee project a Linux-based solution is used instead of running the 68k emulator directly on the hardware. On his Twitter channel Schwarz has published some videos showing the latest level of development: FastRAM obviously still has not been implemented. Hardware documentations and source codes are available on Github but not under a free license: A commercial application requires the accordance of the developer.

`29.Jan.2021` a1k.org (Webseite)	Accelerator board project 'Buffee': ARM processor emulates 68040/400 Mhz The open source accelerator board project "Buffee" started by Renee Cousins and Tim Wacker consists of an adapter board which is connected to the processor socket of an A500, A1000 or A2000 and has a SoC of type Octavo OSD335x-SM inclusive 512 or 1024 MB RAM. The ARM-CPU of the Octavo module emulates a 68k processor using a special JIT emulator called Pseudo JIT which supposedly can achieve the speed of a 68040 clocked with 400 Mhz. Additional to the firmware, the hardware design freely available. According to the developers in their blog, the production of prototypes gets closer. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 29.
