CENTurbo II

The CENTurbo II (later known as CT2) was an accelerator card for the Atari Falcon. It was designed by Rodolphe Czuba and sold by a French company called Centek in two versions:

CT2 rev.A

CT2 rev.B

Because of the high technical goals, it was the most ambitious hardware project ever launched on Falcon market at that time. A total of 242 units had been sold from September ‘98 to January ‘00 in 14 countries. In 2003, the CT2 was replaced by the CT60 which remains the most powerful accelerator card available for the Falcon.

About this site

This is a website trying to gather all publicly available information about the CENTurbo II accelerator card. This hasn’t been an easy task, not only due to the time which has passed (20 years) since its inception. In the 90s, Centek didn’t provide much information in general and if it did, it was first in French and then after a long pause in English (or “English”). To complicate things futher, Rodolphe Czuba (the main creator) had left Centek in 2000 and created his own website about CT2, now defunct http://www.czuba-tech.com while Centek’s website was still up and updated. This all had lead to an incredible mess where French and English documentation and tools were independently updated and distributed by all parties (and later mirrored, at random times, by 3rd parties). I’ve tried to collect latest versions, clean it all up and provide for everyone.

Overview

CENTurbo II offers quite an unique set of features even to today’s (Atari) standards:
