PiStorm Accelerator

I'll admit I don't follow the Amiga accelerator scene very closely. For what I use my machines for, I could never justify the literally thousands of dollars some cards and components command these days, and keeping track of what's the latest and greatest from a long line of short-run products isn't high on my priorities list. All the same, I've heard a lot of buzz on the "PiStorm" and other related devices that use the Raspberry Pi to emulate a top-shelf accelerator card. If true, a simple device costing less than $50 could beat some of the best accelerator cards ever built- and while that could be too good to be true the fact that some already exist is encouraging.

HERE's a news article on the device with a closer look at the tech and specs. What do you all think?

Spotted THIS over on Facebook, and I gotta say I am really interested to see what one of these things will do in an A1000!

Looks like a tight fit lol
The original post indicated that you would need need to cut a little bit of the accelerator off on one corner to get it to fit. Might be a tight fit, but if it works it's worth it I'd think.
