The Beta Systems SuperCharger is a hardware PC emulator for the Atari ST computer.

It turns an Atari ST into a PC/XT compatible PC, using the Atari's keyboard, mouse, storage, and display. The screen displays are limited to CGA and Hercules. Users can switch between DOS and TOS/GEM programs using a Hotkey.

The SuperCharger is a small white box, containing an 8087 NEC-V20 with 1 Mb main memory, 8 MHz clock speed, and a special chip set. The chip set provides a PC-compatible hardware environment, and handles communication with the Atari ST/TT over the ACSI interface.
