Z3660 by sHaNsHe (Double H Tech)

Z3660 is an Amiga 4000 CPU accelerator board designed by sHaNsHe, which is based on the A3660 and optionally uses the Z-turn FPGA board - but as the zTurn is needed to provide local RAM, RTG, Networking, AHI Audio, SCSI emulation and CPU emulation via onboard ARM, it is strongly recommended. Z3660 also works on the Amiga 3000 with some known issues.

The hardware, firmware and software is currently in BETA, and whilst it is incredibly capable you will find things that need addressing. There is an active discord server which is the best place to ask questions and get support after working through this Wiki!

This wiki is of course under constant development - please do submit your feedback on the Discord server!
