Actually, in my IIe I run a transwarp card - it does bump the Mhz up to 8, but its a vintage card!!! :P Still, you have to switch it off when you wanna play IIe games - just too much juice! TOO MUCH FIRE BABY. :P

However - for my aforementioned daily AppleWriter journaling - its gangster. BOOM - SSD speed, brotha!

Several Amiga-Pi things out there... I have mostly huddled around the PiMiga / Chris Edwards of Atlanta Data Image BBS - still runs on a 1200; just have to wait for the external HDD to spin up. adibbs.sytes.net:6800

I have an ST that I haven't dug into yet... a 400 w/o any cartridges, and needing some power supply love - but its on the horizon. :P

I love to dive into these different platforms, learn the thing and document it for future me... then, 6 months later... on to the next one. 

They still get pulled out every few months or so - some even live alongside me.
