I've never seen Hard Drivin' look so smooth! It's becoming a really interesting time for retro computing and gaming devices. I love to see people keeping these things alive and showing that they're still useful in modern times. I think the hardware back then is more interesting, as at the time, a single computer that could do everything very well didn't really exist, and it's easy to see in the hardware that different machines had different things that they were good at (like the ST for audio production). I think that's part of why a lot of these machines are viewed as more desirable... I know I want to add an ST to my audio setup, if only for the sweet synth editors available (I have used Stella in the past to emulate an ST in order to program my Roland D-20, but it would be nice to have an actual machine to do that). I'm super excited that people are out there who still love and support these machines, and are developing new enhancements for them. I can only imagine how far things will go.

The SupraTurbo28 was actually 36MHz during development-- we had them in engineering at up to 40MHz, but as you observed over 36MHz was pretty sketchy. We had a couple beta testers have issues at 36MHz (it also had to behave in a 2000), so it was dialed back to 28MHz to be safe. We used 68HC000FN-16's with the numbers sanded off with an electric eraser. (I don't think -20's were around then, or they were more expensive or something.) ;-)

I remember that my old Supra Turbo 28 had a 68010 processor. It stands out since you really didn't see 010's in Amiga accelerators much, if at all elsewhere. It would also convert for use in an A2000 when you removed the case and set a jumper on the board--which was what I did when I got my A2000 and moved the accelerator, DKB Mini Mega Chip with 2MB Agnes, Super Denise and my 3.1 ROM from the A500. You could also convert it back by removing the jumper and putting the board back into the case.

I don't think it's THAT surprising the A500 is starting to get some serious love. Take a look on ebay how much a semi-tidy A500 is vs a similar quality A600. One is £40 - £50 the other £100+ with some cheeky chancers wanting £200+ for an A1200. Having said that I'm sure the A500 will go up in price sooner or later as more people hoover them up and slap "retro vintage" in their listings rather than "found in the attic".

Looks like a great solution and I agree it is great to see this stuff popping up for the Amiga 500 nowadays. For me personally though after having a Vampire I have reverted my personal Amiga 500 back to stock. The nostalgia I have in regard to the machine does not include making it super fast or using WHDLoad. For me the true Amiga 500 experience is the stock experience. I have done some things to "modernize" it such as a DFO: switcher to allow the external port to be used with a HxC floppy emulator mounted in an external floppy case and a USB keyboard solution (internal piggybacking the CIA) to allow a wireless keyboard to be used in conjunction with the real keyboard. I am able to button it up RF shield and all and play games in a modern way but still keep it just like how it was when I purchased it new.

But the nice thing was that when I shifted over to my A2000, I was able to remove the Supra Turbo 28 board from the case, set a jumper and plug it into the A2000's processor slot. It worked well enough but there was no room for onboard Fast RAM and I had to use a Zorro II RAM board.

So, after doing extra research, I ended up ordering the ACA500 Plus. It is cheaper overall than the wicher right from the start and comes with 8 mb of fast ram, legal copies of workbench 3.1 in rom that automatically installs onto CF cards and 2 compact flash ports. The Wicher still requires the ram module(that I think I have kicking around somewhere), the extra purchase of 3.1 roms, connecting jumpers and an IDE to Compact Flash adapter needs to be purchased as well. Once, you kick in the extras and shipping, it ends up being literally double of the ACA 500 Plus. The benefit, as you mentioned, is having it all internal...I would have loved to have this internal on the A1000 making it my first choice; however, after witnessing many attempts on the web, the wicher is not stable in an A1000...sigh. Perhaps, at a later time, I'll order a Wicher for one of my many A500, especially after the new A500 cases arrive that have been ordered through Indiegogo. Nevertheless, I am pumped seeing accelerators for such Vintage hardware...I hope to see similar improvements available for may many Atari St's as well. So, when this arrives from Europe, I'll have to see if I will purchase an external case for it or make one...cheers!

Excellent review. Will you make a supplementary video when you have the 20MHz 68000 cpu?

I guess you either forgot or it failed to hit 50Mhz? I really would have liked to have seen you try to use it with your 1.3 Kickstart with SCSI patch.... The perfect solution would be a dual Kickstart then with 1.3 and 3.1 both with SCSI support...

alex76gr wanting that SCSI support too! I’ve got an old SCSI flatbed scanner, etc to use from my A2000. It would be great to play a SCSI CD player & old 1 Gig-HD.

Cheers mate! Great insight. Might get one for my A500 ;-) . I've been too many years of focusing on my A1200 (which I often leave in it's flight case) so it'd be great to have a second box that can also boot to CF and but running faster 68k.

I hear it comes with two co processors. The steel one renders humanoid sprites. Silver is for monsters.

I just noticed we have the same mixer! QX1002! Great video BTW. If I ever find a decent condition A500 (wish I never sold mine) for a sane price. I think this accelerator is the way to go.

I have been looking at this for my amiga 500. I was wondering if it will work well with a sd to ide board? My setup now is a 500 with the supra500xp with a scsi to sd and the supraturbo 28 with the kipper2k 68000 with the 8 mb ram but like you said the side is used and is not a nice clean package

Aww man, I just junked a whole bunch of 72 pin simms too. I want to say they were 32 or 64mb sticks. I guess there is no shortage of those things on ebay for $3.

8:00 Get a heat sensing camera, or laser led thermometer, and install a passive heat sink on the card CPU and other chips that get hotter than 60C or 140F. You'll still be well below the 92C/200F max temps the chip supports.

Great stuff, and yes I agree I'd rather have an internal solution then something hanging off my machine. I will seriously have to consider this one when I get some extra funds to play around with Amiga hardware again. :-)

Sweeeeeeeeet!!! The Amiga is getting so much love recently =D Might just have to get one of those for my 500 or 500+ EDIT: Although it's nice, the TF530 has more power due to the 030. This is still a lovely option though depending on price. Amazing just how many options we are getting lol

Now that is great improvements for the Amiga 500 playing at real arcade like speed. Even though Commodore defunct in 1994, who took over Commodore? Perhaps if that new company made that highly fast mod Amiga 500 in small laptop like formation if Ben Heck might try, that is something new and different.
