Atari STE Range
- 32mhz booster by exxos - 32MHz accelerator with Fast-TOS for 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 Nemesis.
- CENTurbo 2 - Centek's / Rodolphe Czuba's Falcon booster. 68030/68882@50 MHz, Fast RAM up to 128 MB (with the CT2B, else 64 MB) + the same features as the CT1/Nemesis/Phantom + boosted IDE access.
- CT60 / CT63 / CT60e - 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 Solutions - 32Mhz accelerator for Atari Falcon
- Skunk 32 - a variant of Power Up
- 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?)
