Ditto. The PiSTorm project really needs experienced people helping with it.

So is there any difference for using PI3/4/5 ? I guess just go with the 5 as it may be faster I guess :shrug:

5 isn't compatible, it has slower GPIO. 4 is the best you can get. Don't get a 3 for the H5, get a 4 like me :) (to avoid any complications!)

@exxos No you're fine, it'll get power from the 68k bus. The H5 is strong enough for this, especially with your super-quality PSU.

@exxos Yeah that'd be great :) Remember to get that GPIO riser package I mentioned in PM too.

Was just looking at that, looks like the connectors I use on my Falcon RAM boards, no idea if the pitch is the same though, think the falcon was 2mm pitch..

Kinda stupid really, tells you everything other than the pin pitch. I would have thought that be a important thing to know :roll:
