| AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026 | eMate DRAM and Flash Upgradeby Tech By Androda and Joe's Computer Museum | Expands eMate 300 system RAM and internal flash storage while widening both buses to 32 bits. JCM showed 54 assembled DRAM-plus-flash modules in stock on 2026-07-24. Installing or removing this version causes a full factory reset and erases internal storage, so back up first. The developer also reports that repeated module swaps on a tester preceded lost calibration data and disabled battery charging. |

| Build itChecked Jul 27, 2026 | Meatloafby Jaime Idolpx | Emulates Commodore IEC devices and loads files from local flash, an SD card, or network servers over Wi-Fi. The project provides source, several ESP32 hardware profiles, build instructions, and a browser-based firmware flasher. No direct retail source was verified, so builders must select matching hardware and firmware before connecting it to a computer. |

| DiscontinuedChecked Jul 27, 2026 | Rapidus 65C816 Acceleratorby Sebastian "Candle" Bartkowicz / Lotharek | Replaces the Atari 8-bit CPU with a 20 MHz WDC 65C816 accelerator backed by fast SRAM, SDRAM, flash, and software-selectable modes. Both Lotharek hardware packages are discontinued. The 800XL package includes two Adaptus boards and requires CPU and OS ROM removal, socket work, a correctly oriented ribbon cable, and EXTSEL, MPD, and ground connections that differ between Freddie and non-Freddie boards. Its page says replacing DRAM with the separate SRAM module is mandatory and records additional O2 timing workarounds for Ultimate 1MB. The XE package may need four or five precision sockets to clear the cartridge slot. The official Rapidus PDF remains unavailable to automated extraction under WF-001, so obtain complete documentation before installing a used board. |

| AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026 | SMC PDS ROM Cardby Infinity Products | Moves an SE/30 ROM onto a PDS card, bypassing the aging ROM SIMM socket and adding a bootable 2 MB ROM disk. The store listed the PDS ROM Card at $39 with selectable flashed-ROM and chipless configurations on 2026-07-27. The vendor does not support chipless purchases because programming and ROM preparation can be difficult. A long-term installation should replace the included test clip with a soldered jumper. |
