The beginnings of a list of accelerators boards available for the TOS range.
Atari ST Range
- AdSpeed ST - ICD - 16Mhz accelerator. Software switchable between 8/16Mhz
- JATO 16Mhz Board - John Russell Innovations - 16Mhz accelerator board.
- CMI 16Mhz Board - Creative Microsystems Inc. - 16Mhz accelerator board. Also adds sockets for Blitter chip and 68881 FPU. It also has a method to speed up TOS access called fastROM.
- Turbo16 - Fast Technologies - 16Mhz accelerator board.
- SST - Gadgets by Small & Fast Technologies - 16Mhz 68030 accelerator board.
- Turbo 20/25 by System Solutions - Accelerator for ST and Mega ST
- T28 and T36 by System Solutions - 28Mhz and 36Mhz accelerator for STF, STFM, STE and Mega ST
- Plus Cache ST by Atari Workshop - 16Mhz accelerator for STFM
- PAK 68/3 by System Solutions - 32/40/50Mhz accelerator for STFM, STE (with adapter), Mega ST & Mega STE
Atari Falcon
- Afterburner 040 - Top of the range for its time (mid-nineties) 68040 booster. Up to 64Mb 32-bit fast-RAM.
- Blow Up FX - Boosted '030 to 40mhz, added fastram and screen resolution enhancer, another one from Atari Workshops.
- Centurbo 1 - Rodolphe Czuba's version of this.
- Centurbo 2 - (Centek)
- CT60 / CT63 - Power Phenix 68060 accelerator for the Atari Falcon.
- DX-3 board - from OXO Concept
- HighSpeed40 - This was in 1996 and you could switch between 20 and 40MHz cpu.
- Mighty Sonic - Has it's own 68030 and up to 64Mb of 32-bit fast-RAM.
- Nemesis - System overclocker to 150% of normal Falcon speed, handled by Titan Designs/Black Scorpion in UK
- Phantom - Cheaper Czech-built Nemesis style overclocker.
- Power Up - Simple 16 to 32mhz cpu clocker, very early, distributed by Atari Workshops in the UK.
- Power Up 2 by System Soltuions - 32Mhz accelerator for Atari Falcon
- Skunk 32
- Speed Resolution board 40mhz by Hard&Soft
- Tempest - PowerPC based, extensively written about, prototyped, but not made?! This started as contemporary with CT2!
- Veloce Falcon - To take Falcon to 40mhz, fastram capability, modelled on Veloce STe, never produced?
- Wizztronics Barracuda 040 - 33 mhz 6840 and two vme-bus-slots. Optional FastRam-card, 128 megs. (never sold?)
