Thanks Pat, I've been to PiStorm Discord few days ago, it a bit confusing since I'm not used to that type of messaging forum. Lots of channels and activity going on. Development/Testing is moving lighting fast. Certainly the PiStorm is WIP.
The best summary based I've found on the PiStorm is Noel's You Tube channel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouakRDHisew.
He really covers off the topic well. All before Emy86 came along, however he does cover the concept of Barebone OS on the Pi, which if I understand correctly is what Emu86 is all about.
I'll learn more when my parts arrive, however if I understand things correctly, if one uses the PiStorm as a pure 68000 Emulator (without emulating HD, RTG via HDSMI, network, on the Pi) you can use many periperals in the Amiga (Certainly the Floppy or Gotek). There still might be limitations. No idea till I try.
It is quite exciting and a cheap alternative to getting a Vampire, etc for casual use and exploration.
I do understand the need for SD cards on a Raspberry Pi. I built at least a dozen complex projects via Raspberry Pi's and Ardiuno. That's why the PiStorm caught my attention and enthusiam.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic for this thread. Might be a good idea to start another new topic when I fool around with the PiStorm and my A2000 bundles.
