Is it possible to use a Pi 5 instead of a Pi 3 with Pi Storm32 Lite?

Simple answer “no”. Unless there is a Mark 2 of the PiStorm. The Pi5 has a slightly different arrangement where the CPU sits, so will not fit the current PiStorm.

It's more than physical layout. The official FAQ on Discord (posted by PiStorm creator Claude Schwartz himself) states "It will need major changes to PiStorm/PiStorm32-lite on hardware, gateware and software. As soon as Pi5 boards are available we will investigate." (28 September '23)

Basically what I stated in my post in regards to layout and needing to be a mark 2 PiStorm. 😉

Pi4 / CM4 are insanely fast, do you need more, lol.
2.5GHz's is enough for me, plus the 1.7GB's of Fast RAM just sweetens it, :).

Amigakit need to sell these 😉 I Will definitely buy one 🤗
