ST/F/M V1.5 16MHz booster


This simple booster can fit in just about any ST/F/M machine and gives a 16MHz boost and can even work with Fast-ROMs giving 16MHz Fast-ROM access.

Results are impressive from such as small booster.


While its big brother the V2 BOOSTER offers the addition of TOS206 as well, it is at the end of its production life now and the V1.5 is almost identical speed wise and fits a lot more machines.

The V1.5 booster also is compatible with the blitter and gives a huge speed boost again when running in 16MHz modes.


The V1.5 BOOSTER is supplied assembled and tested.  It also needs Fast-roms (100ns or faster) to make use of the Fast-TOS feature.

I offer various ROM kits in my store to fit various ST/F/M machines.  The stock ROM's in the Atari ST's are generally not fast enough (normally 120ns - 250ns ) and are too slow.  Of course, the V1.5 BOOSTER will also work without the Fast-Roms , but performance will be degraded.
