Recreates an Atari 8-bit computer for an Atari 1050 case with integrated IDE storage, expanded memory, PS/2 input, video, stereo audio, MIDI, and expansion.

The maker publishes schematics, a BOM, firmware, panel files, and production Gerbers. The project page links to The Brewing Academy for boards and assembled systems; verify current stock on the seller page.

Adds 8 MB of Fast RAM and a bootable 44-pin IDE controller at the Amiga 500 CPU socket.

The assembled Lotharek revision exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27; the original Oleg Mishin design files, ROM, firmware, software, and four-layer PCB are public. The box contains only the board. Kickstart and Workbench 1.3 or newer can autoboot without a patched scsi.device. A socketed CPU makes installation simple, but an unsocketed CPU must be desoldered. Pin 1 must be observed when attaching CF or SD hardware because a reversed adapter can destroy the CPLD. The open repository documents the original A500 design, while the current seller alone claims A500 Plus support for its revised hardware.

Adds CompactFlash storage, cartridge-image loading, and onboard flash and SRAM to Atari XL and XE computers.

The official page showed MyIDE-II cartridges and accessories available on 2026-07-25. A prepared CompactFlash card is offered separately, so confirm the selected package contents. No ROM images are included; users must supply legal images and software.

Adds CompactFlash storage to an Apple-1 or a compatible clone.

ReActiveMicro showed the CFFA1 in stock with backordering enabled on 2026-07-27. The supplied package includes a CompactFlash card and software. It does not work in Apple II systems.

Adds CompactFlash and USB mass storage plus floppy-image mounting to slotted Apple II and Apple III computers.

ReActiveMicro showed an in-stock, backorderable Add to cart path on 2026-07-24. The included media is preconfigured, but user-supplied images and operating systems still need to be compatible with the selected computer.

Adds solid-state CompactFlash storage for CP/M or RomWBW configurations.

The fine-pitch CompactFlash socket can be supplied loose with an optional stencil or pre-soldered and tested. Standard RC2014 BASIC cannot access this storage. CP/M requires the documented Pageable ROM and 64K RAM configuration, while RomWBW uses a 512K ROM 512K RAM setup.

Adds CompactFlash storage, selectable disk firmware, an LCD, and a five-mode joystick interface to original ZX Spectrum computers.

Lotharek marks this revision discontinued. The seller says its joystick functions were tested on original Sinclair and Amstrad ZX Spectrum computers and does not guarantee clones. Media needs one active FAT16 partition, and compatibility still depends on selected firmware and correctly prepared software images. Identify the installed firmware and switch settings before using a second-hand unit.

Combines CompactFlash storage, four selectable firmware slots, AY sound, stereo output, and two joystick ports on a ZX Spectrum expansion interface.

The seller exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. Use a CompactFlash card with one active FAT16 partition and remove it only while power is off. The page distinguishes Sinclair and Amstrad bus modes, says the grey +2 is not an Amstrad-mode machine, and explicitly names +2B and +3 for Amstrad mode. It does not clearly establish +2A support, so that model is not attached.

Buffers and expands an Amiga 600 or 1200 IDE interface for as many as four CompactFlash, SD, hard-disk, optical, or ZIP devices.

The product exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27 and includes the main and adapter boards, not storage media. Two CompactFlash or SD-to-CF devices can be unreliable: the seller says the master must be slower than the slave or a device may disappear and a partition may be damaged. Optical and ZIP operation requires IDEFix97, and some CF combinations are inherently incompatible.

Adds CompactFlash and ATA or ATAPI mass storage plus USB PCLink transfers to a Commodore 64 expansion port.

The official project site is active and identifies V4.2 as the latest revision, but the selected official pages provide neither a current order path nor a complete fabrication package. Check the used market and confirm the hardware revision before buying.

Transforms an original Atari 800 with configurable memory, XL/XE operation, CompactFlash storage, flash firmware, SpartaDOS X, and a real-time clock.

Lotharek exposed a current login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27 and describes Gold as a final 50-piece production run. Installation is an extensive internal modification: it removes the existing RAM cards and personality/ROM board, replaces the Z101 74LS42 with a ribbon connection, adds motherboard jumpers and auxiliary signal wiring, and optionally modifies the power board for an ATR button and activity LED. The installation procedure therefore makes Incognito an alternative to the 5cfab Atari 800 memory boards and RAMROM personality card, not a documented stackable addition. Retro Lemon warns that self-installation damage is not covered by its warranty.

Current 8-bit ISA adapter that lets a CompactFlash card serve as an XT-IDE hard disk in an IBM PC or XT-class computer.

Adds bootable CompactFlash storage through the PDS, bypassing the original SCSI implementation.

The maker states that production is on hold with no ETA. The public support repository contains firmware and installation files, but no DIY hardware fabrication package.

Period CompactFlash and IDE mass-storage card that preceded the USB-capable CFFA3000.

The original CFFA production runs are sold out, so acquisition is through the used market. Verify the exact board and firmware revision, included cable or media, and CompactFlash compatibility. CFFA v1.2 runs 1 through 3 have an ATA timing bug that needs CPLD logic 1.4 and three jumper wires. The published Revision 2.0B schematic omits a 33K pullup from U5 pin 27 to Vcc that was added during assembly. These generations are ProDOS mass-storage cards and do not mount DOS 3.3 floppy images.

Adds IDE mass storage to slotted Apple II computers with CompactFlash and external-drive options.

The current page exposed multiple selectable packages on 2026-07-24. User-supplied CompactFlash cards must comply with the original CF standard; the vendor warns that testing may be the only reliable compatibility check.

Combines a working Z80 or Z180 computer with RC2014-compatible expansion sockets on one buildable motherboard.

The official pages listed complete-kit and bare-PCB suppliers on 2026-07-27, but no assembled and tested option. Exact inventory varies by model and supplier; the Tindie seller was temporarily on a break when checked. Each board still needs assembly plus the documented power, terminal, and storage accessories.

Adds CompactFlash storage to an RC2014 through a simple 8-bit IDE interface.

The project supplies a schematic, Gerbers, and build documentation, and lists kit and bare-PCB suppliers; an assembled version is not offered. The unbuffered IDE connection must remain short, not every CompactFlash card is compatible, and the maker says older cards tend to work better. Power the CompactFlash adapter directly from SC145 as documented.

Builds complete RomWBW and CP/M computers from matched 40-pin or 80-pin RCBus backplanes and modules.

The official pages listed complete-kit and bare-PCB suppliers on 2026-07-27, but no assembled and tested option. Exact inventory varies by model and supplier. A suitable power supply, storage card, USB serial adapter, terminal computer, and assembly tools may be required as specified for each model.

Adds CompactFlash storage to RC2014 and RCBus systems at I/O ports 0x10 through 0x17.

Both designs have schematics, Gerbers, PCB files, and kit or bare-PCB paths; assembled versions are not offered. Plain CP/M 2.2 can address the first 128MB and RomWBW up to 2GB. The maker recommends avoiding high-capacity, high-speed cards and documents a critical 5 V power issue with some visually identical CompactFlash adapters.

Adds cartridge-based CompactFlash or SD storage, SpartaDOS X, a real-time clock, and loader functions to Atari 8-bit systems.

Lotharek marks both generations discontinued. SIDE2 needs at least 128 KB for its FDISK workflow, and full ATR loading requires Ultimate 1MB. Some systems need a faster 74F08 or buffered O2 timing path. Lotharek ended SIDE3 sales because it could not supply firmware that worked reliably across all computers; Revision 3.2 uses a Gowin FPGA, needs its matching firmware and programming path, and does not accept the older CPLD updates. Identify the exact hardware and firmware revision before buying or flashing a used cartridge.

Adds an internal CompactFlash hard drive to the 1088XEL through its MPBI expansion interface.

Both variants have public fabrication material, and the Rapidus board adds KiCad source. Use only the specified Texas Instruments 74F-series logic. The interface needs flashjazzcat's special 1088XEL Ultimate 1MB BIOS, replacing the original SIDE PBI and loader. Keep the IDE cable under 10 inches when practical. The maker does not guarantee every CompactFlash card and reports the best results with genuine SanDisk cards rated at 30 MB/s or less.

DIY 8-bit ISA CompactFlash adapter that provides mass storage and supports an XT-IDE BIOS extension ROM.

The project supplies build files and documentation rather than a direct retail order path.
