AvailableChecked Jul 28, 2026BlackBird RTC NVRAMby Bartek Swiderski / Lotharek

A newly made real-time-clock and nonvolatile-memory module for the Atari Falcon030.

For this system (exact model): The seller explicitly identifies BlackBird as an Atari Falcon RTC/NVRAM module. Installation and motherboard-revision details are not published in readable text, so obtain model-specific instructions before opening the computer.

The product page exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27, but it provides only the product name, Falcon purpose, designer, price, and photographs. Human review found no further technical detail. Treat this as evidence that an RTC/NVRAM module is available, not as installation guidance; ask the seller about the replaced component, backup design, setup, and motherboard support before purchase.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026GuMP General MIDI Playerby Lotharek

Adds a self-contained SAM2695 General MIDI sound module to an Atari ST-family computer's MIDI output.

For this system (bus/interface): The Falcon owner's manual documents MIDI connections. Connect MIDI OUT to GuMP, provide separate 5 V power, and use compatible MIDI software.

The product page exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. The box contains the cased module with an attached short MIDI cable, but the 5 V Micro-USB supply and speakers or headphones are separate. The seller identifies Atari ST use but does not prescribe player software; choose an Atari application that sends compatible MIDI data through MIDI OUT.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026Micromys V5by individual Computers

Connects a PS/2 mouse to Commodore, Amiga, Atari ST, and Atari 8-bit computers with host-specific mouse, joystick, paddle, and tablet modes.

For this system (stated family): The maker explicitly includes the Atari Falcon family. Mouse mode provides two buttons; wheel and middle-button input are ignored.

The official shop listed immediate delivery from EUR 34.07 on 2026-07-30. Protovision listed five units from EUR 38, with the slim connector costing EUR 3 more. The slim version fits every supported computer; the wider screw-in version has documented clearance exclusions including the Amiga 600 and Atari 1200XL. A USB mouse works only if the mouse itself supports the PS/2 protocol through a passive adapter.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026Netusbeeby Lotharek

Adds an RTL8019AS Ethernet interface and an ISP1160 USB controller through the Atari cartridge port.

For this system (exact model): The seller explicitly lists the Falcon. Netusbee uses its cartridge port and still requires compatible Atari networking and USB software.

The product page exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. Ethernet operation depends on Atari networking software and compatible drivers; the page supplies NetUSB02 version 5, STinG 1.26, EthernE, and utility downloads. Confirm software support for the particular USB device class before buying. The optional IRQ connection is not required for the basic cartridge-port installation.

Check statusChecked Jul 30, 2026TOM USB HID Adapter Familyby Electronica4u

Connects USB HID mice, keyboards, joysticks, and gamepads to Commodore, Amiga, and Atari ST-family control ports.

For this system (exact model): Rev3 explicitly lists the Atari Falcon and requires a separately supplied DB9 extension or special adapter.

Sordan hosts current Rev3 and Micro Tom pages and a Rev3 manual, but neither product page exposed a price, stock value, or product-specific cart route on 2026-07-30. AMI64 listed TOM 2+ at GBP 40 but out of stock. TOM+ and TOM Rev2 are retained as older variants rather than presumed current products. USB peripherals may be hot-plugged, but the DB9 adapter must be connected only while the old computer is powered off. Device compatibility is not universal.

DiscontinuedChecked Jul 27, 2026Vulture 14 MB Falcon Memory Expansionby Lotharek

Expands an Atari Falcon030 to 14 MB with a dedicated board populated by 50 ns DRAM.

For this system (exact model): The seller explicitly identifies this as a Falcon030 14 MB expansion. Confirm the board revision, connector orientation, existing memory configuration, and physical clearance before installation.

Lotharek marks the Vulture board discontinued. Its page establishes the Falcon030 and 14 MB purpose but provides no written installation, board-revision, clearance, diagnostic, or original-memory requirements. Compare a used board against the archived photographs and obtain experienced Falcon installation guidance before fitting it.
