CS530 and CS540: New A500 accelerator boards in development
The Polish people Szymon 'Cizar' Paprocki and Andrzej 'Sellen' Rogozynski are working on accelerator boards for the Amiga 500 which will be equipped with processors of 68030, 68040 or 68060. Prototypes already exist. You can watch videos about the "CS530" and "CS540" on the Youtube channel of Paprocki.

All statements of the developers only are available in Polish and the boards still are in an early development stage. The following features are planned:
  • MC68030 (with FPU MC68882) and 040 processors, 68060 also planned
  • SDRAM or DDR chips as FastRAM, controlled by a Spartan6 FPGA controller
  • Slot for CF cards
  • IDE port (40 Pin)
  • A ARM ST32H7 microcontroller with 400Mhz, its function is not clear. Translations of third parties from the Polish say "a new chipset with access to the complete FastRAM".
  • NAU8822AYG-based soundcard with MP3-decoder and AHI implementation. The original Amiga signal is supposed to be taken through the card
  • USB
  • UEXT
  • WIFI (ESP 32 WROOM)
  • MicroSD slot
  • 12-bit stereo sampler
  • Hardware MPEG decodierung
  • HDMI port
