Retrohax blog: Amiga 500 upgrade #1
As Retrohax.net writes, he had restored hundreds of retro machines to their original state over the past years (sometimes with minor modifications) and he was kind of tired of it, so the time had come to try something different.
So he decided to create a new series of posts in which he will try to describe upgrades and visual modifications of the 20 remaining unrestored Amiga 500s. Each of these Amiga 500s will be unique and described in a separate blog post. As soon as such an Amiga is completed and tested, he will start an eBay auction with it. This is post number 1 of 20.

FPGA: Apollo-Core-Update GOLD 2.17 "Bronto"
The Apollo-Core is a FPGA reimplementation of the m68k series produced by Motorola which also provides a separate graphics driver called SAGA. The core is used in the Vampire accelerator boards 600 V2, 500 V2+ and 1200 V2. Changes:
- Card supports now to run in one of 4 different speed mode. This allows for run old games e.g. in speed of A500 or A1200, to improve running old games that have problems running on faster CPUs.
- Support for new instruction EXTUB.L
This instruction is very useful for type conversion.
It is used by some GCC versions.
Supporting it does improve code density and improves performance.
- Support for new instruction EXTUW.L
This instruction is very useful for type conversion.
It is used by some GCC versions.
Supporting it does improve code density and improves performance.
- Support for enhanced instructions
BRA.s+ BSR.s+ BCC.s+
This instruction is supported by some compilers and assemblers.
This instruction improves code density and improves performance.
- Hardware optimized version of FPU instruction FDBcc.w
- Hardware optimized version of FPU instruction FDBcc.l
- several FPU Performance optimizations ported from V4-FPU to V2
