He verified that the PiStorm board I have is the problem. Although it works perfectly with an Amiga A500 in a LazaruStorm adapter it's just too slow for the ST.

P.S. Testing with my Pi4 and everything works fine.
Interesting...so any hints on how can we tell if our adapters will be ok?

Ok, will try to test the couple I have working in A500s in an H4 with my Pi4 as soon as I can.
