Today's Highlights
   - Greetings and salutations everyone! Rabbits -- Rabbits - Rabbits! Another quick update but I need to point out a few highlights this week. 

    - While I'm embarrassed to say I'm STILL a few issues behind with my reading, BUSY SUMMER, Compute!'s Gazette celebrates their 1 year anniversary! We would like to wish Edwin Nagle and the rest of his crew ALL THE BEST for bringing back a CLASSIC magazine for the NEXT generation of retro computer lovers to enjoy and share with their kids!

    - Commodore too is celebrating it's 1 year anniversary. On Friday they sent out a nice email touting their success over that past year and spoke about the future. During that time they've survived the initial onslaught on the entire Commodore community, not to mention the REST of the internet, sold over 27K+ Commodore 64 Ultimates, created and sold almost 10K Callback 8020 flip phones. They also teased a new product, which is thought to be a new TAC-2 joystick. Interesting!

    So what will the next year bring? While Peri specifically stated "And no, it's not an Amiga (read why)" let's stay positive. I wish them ALL THE BEST and LONG REIGN Commodore!!!

   - Quick v2.0 site update. I've started down the LONG road of re-validation 1500+ DB links, adding 4000+ NEW links, moving over 401 weekly postings and updating past calendar events. My BIGGEST task is coming up with NEW categories to sort some of the new links into. I'm currently have 75 but that's from 20+ years ago. The community has changed a bit since then. On the plus side I've finished updating the Crowdfunding, Publications, Shops and Vendors, Top 10+12, Shops & Vendors, Service and Repair. I'm getting excited!

• Looking for some free software? The hop on over to the Amiga Freeware Archive. Currently they have over 18K+ downloads, covering 14 PD libraries, scene groups, disk magazines and user group compilations totaling 10+MB of downloads. Their stated goal is to 'have software not found on Aminet but to make what they have easy to explore'. NICE!!

• Amiga Freeware Archive: {Currently 18K+ downloads, covering 14 PD libraries, scene groups, disk magazines and user group compilations totaling over 10+MB of downloads} Thousands of classic Amiga titles, free to download and explore. Search or browse games, applications, demos, graphics, music and tools from the golden age of 32-bit home computing. What type of software can be found here? All kinds! Games, music, pictures, applications, tools and utilities, and random things that defy classification! And of course the demoscene — audiovisual showcases created to push the hardware to its absolute limits and show off their creators' skills.
• What happened to AmigaDE? Inside Amiga’s failed portable platform: The oddest Amiga ever launched was not a computer. It did not come in a case. {...} AmigaDE was something else. It was a software layer, a runtime, a business plan and a brand exercise rolled into one. Later pushed as Amiga Anywhere, it tried to take the Amiga name away from the idea of a specific computer and attach it to portable applications running across different devices. That made it one of the most revealing products in the long post-Commodore Amiga story. It showed a company trying to move the brand into the device era, but also showed how hard it is to make an old computer name mean something new when the machine itself has disappeared. The hook was brutal because it was true: the brand survived by leaving the machine behind.
• The Return of World Construction Set: Reviving an Amiga Classic that is coming back because of the brilliant Amiga community. The Return of World Construction Set 2.031 is out and here you have all the juicy details regarding this amazing landscape generator!
• Building an AmigaOS Development Environment in 2026: Apropos of nothing, I decided to set up an Amiga development environment. Since figuring things out wasn't straightforward, I wrote down instructions for Linux about how to compile the first program and run it in an emulator. Enjoy!
• Amiga's Phantasmagoria: It was many years ago that Amiga Flame exclusively reported that Phantasmagoria was coming to the Amiga. There was great deal of excitement judging by my filled mailbox, but after a few years, all talk of Phantasmagoria died out. It had seemed that Phantasmagoria had fallen by the way side. However, Alive Mediasoft has announced this week that Phantasmagoria, a very scary adventure game is to hit the Amiga {...} The Pulse has exclusively interviewed Roberta Williams, the creator of this interactive horror, with this issue expected in February. Also on Alive Mediasoft's CD catalogue 1.6 there is a world exclusive trailer of the game, and they are currently working on a demo.
• ‘Proper next-gen Amiga’ launched by Apollo Computing — promises full FPGA-powered backwards compatibility with its new 68080 chip: Thirty-one years after Commodore went bankrupt, ceasing development of next-generation Amiga computers, a German Amiga accelerator company steps up. Apollo Computing stepped forward to reveal its “Proper next-gen Amiga” to the masses earlier this week. The German firm has unveiled the Apollo A6000, a comprehensive modern Amiga system featuring advanced technologies, including a “cutting-edge V4 AC68080” FPGA, which makes it the “most powerful Amiga 68k compatible ever created.”
• Full-sized A1200 Amiga remake spotted on display — A1200 will come with a port of The Settlers 2 that took 30 years, and a working keyboard: Retro Games Ltd says it will ‘lift the curtain completely’ on specs etc, in October. After so many playable tribute mini computers and mini consoles released over recent years, it looks like it’s the turn of the legendary Commodore Amiga A1200 home computer - with a full sized working keyboard built-in. And soon. Retro Games Ltd (RGL), the company behind hardware like The A500 Mini (which had a non-functioning keyboard), The C64 Mini, The Spectrum, and others, is showcasing The A1200 at Gamescom 2025 over the next few days. Full details are promised in October.
• ilbmview: A small, dependency-light viewer for classic Commodore-Amiga IFF ILBM (Interleaved Bitmap) images, rendered in a native Wayland window. Built for a tiling setup (Hyprland): the image auto-scales to the window while preserving aspect ratio, and closing the window quits the program. It fully honours the CAMG viewport mode so images display with the correct geometry and palette, including HAM, Extra-Half-Brite, hi-res and interlace.
• OpenTTD for AmigaOS 68k (AGA): A native port of OpenTTD 1.0.5 to classic AmigaOS 3.x on 68k, with its own video driver written against Intuition and graphics.library. No SDL, and no RTG card required — it runs on plain AGA.
• Commodore 900: the UNIX workstation Commodore almost released: For most people, Commodore means the C64, the Amiga, affordable home computing, excellent custom chips and the kind of power supply you still eye suspiciously before plugging in. But in the mid 1980s Commodore also had a very different machine on the bench: the Commodore 900, also known as the C900 or Z-Machine. It was not a games computer, not a colourful home machine, and not a direct follow-up to the C64. It was a business workstation built around the Zilog Z8001 processor and designed to run Coherent, a UNIX-like operating system. In another timeline, Commodore might have entered the workstation market before the Amiga became its next great identity. In our timeline, the Commodore 900 became one of the most fascinating almost-products in computer history.
• USB4AMI - USB Gamepad/Mouse to DB9 adapter: USB4AMI is a small adapter that lets you use modern USB controllers and mice with classic computers including the Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64, and Atari computers. It plugs directly into your computer's joystick/mouse port and translates input from any compatible USB device into the signals your retro computer understands.
• Godot2Amiga: Godot2Amiga converts Godot projects into native Commodore Amiga applications. Unlike emulators or compatibility layers, the generated program is ordinary C code built against the ACE runtime and compiled with the Bartman Amiga GCC toolchain. Current target platform: Commodore Amiga 500, Kickstart 1.3 & OCS chipset
• Amiga 1000 – just a casual repair: In this rather short post, I’ll show you how I’ve dealt with an iconic Amiga 1000 computer. It was a rather simple job, as the Amiga was in very good shape to start with. The whole job was about cleaning, retrobrighting, fixing minor issues, and that’s it. There is no need to make this particular computer filled with upgrades. Instead, I’ve used an external device, but more on this later.
• AmiAuth: A native two-factor authentication (2FA) code generator for classic AmigaOS. AmiAuth implements TOTP (RFC 6238) and HOTP (RFC 4226): it stores multiple accounts, generates 6- or 8-digit codes with a live countdown, and — critically for the platform — solves the accurate-time problem that TOTP depends on. Small, self-contained, and designed to run on anything from a stock 68000 A500 up to an accelerated or emulated machine.
• Demise: Commodore Computers – From Innovation to Oblivion: Flashback, early 1970s and you’re sitting in a school classroom or maybe a hobbyist’s basement. There’s a rectangular box on the table—a computer—but it’s nothing like the sleek, polished devices we know today. This is Commodore. The brand that was once poised to rule the world of personal computing. It’s difficult to imagine now, but there was a time when Commodore was synonymous with innovation and affordable technology for the masses. In fact, they were positioned to become the global leader in the personal computer revolution.

Today's Highlights
   - Greetings and salutations everyone!  I'm going to keep this week's update short and sweet. 41 years ago this week Commodore released the Amiga 1000 in a black tie affair at Lincoln Center in New York City and world of computers experienced yet another seismic shift. We all know things haven't turn out as well as we would have liked but she's still around with a community supporting her. For that I tip my hat to all my fellow Amiga users and lovers!

Happy 41st Amiga 1000!

   - Another quick v2.0 site update. HOLY CRAP!!! Things are progressing so quickly and so much has been done that I've had to take a step back rethink the basic flow of the website. What does that mean for you? Soon you'll have a site worthy of your time and, hopefully, something truly befitting the Amiga. More to follow!

   - Saved round... If my math is correct this is my 400th daily entry on the site! YAE ME! ;-)

• If you any have questions about the soon to be released THEA1200 hopefully this video from Retro Games Limited will answer them.

• The Amiga 1000

• 41 Years Ago: The Day the Amiga 1000 Changed Computing Forever (1985 Launch): 41 years ago today — July 23, 1985 — Commodore launched the Amiga 1000 at Lincoln Center in New York City and completely changed personal computing. Restored and presented in 1080p HD. In front of a star-studded audience, Andy Warhol live-painted Debbie Harry (Blondie) on stage using the Amiga, proving this machine was something special. This wasn’t just another computer — it was the birth of multimedia computing. True preemptive multitasking. Up to 4096 colors & advanced custom graphics chips. 4-channel stereo sampled sound. Years ahead of Apple, IBM, and Atari. The Amiga 1000 brought professional-level graphics, sound, and creativity into people’s homes for the first time.
• Commodore Unveiled The First Amiga Computer 40 Years Ago Today: Today marks a very special occasion for Commodore Amiga fans — the 40th anniversary of Commodore's initial unveiling of the first-ever Amiga computer (otherwise known as the Commodore 1000). It was on Tuesday, July 23rd 1985 that Commodore first unveiled the eagerly-anticipated computer at the Lincoln Center in New York, in what was described in the press at the time as a lavish "coming out" party, with its plan being to position the $1295 Motorola 68000-based computer as a potential rival to Apple's Macintosh computer, which had released one year earlier.
• Amiga 1000: Ten years ahead of its time: On July 23, 1985, Commodore introduced its Amiga 1000 computer. And let’s just say the world wasn’t ready for it yet. Dave Haynie, a Commodore engineer who worked on the later models, has said there was no such thing as a 1980s computer. There were 1970s computers and 1990s computers, and it was the Amiga that dragged the rest of the industry into the 1990s.
• Amiga 1000: Ten years ahead of its time: {Thread @ Hacker news discussing the Amiga 1000}
• Before Commodore stepped in: The three dentists who financed Amiga’s future: In the grand mythology of personal computing, revolutions are supposed to begin in garages, venture capital boardrooms, or research labs filled with whiteboards and cold pizza. They are not, as a rule, supposed to begin in dental offices in Florida. And yet, the early story of what became Amiga Corporation starts precisely there, with three dentists who decided that funding an experimental hardware startup was a perfectly reasonable thing to do after a long day of cleaning teeth. The phrase “the three dentists” has endured because it sounds like the setup to a joke.
• A history of the Amiga, part 3: The first prototype : The third installment of our series on the history of the Amiga begins with... Prototyping the hardware. Modern chips are designed using high-powered workstations that run very expensive chip simulation software. However, the fledgling Amiga company could not afford such luxuries. It would instead build, by hand, giant replicas of the silicon circuitry on honeycomb-like plastic sheets known as breadboards.

Today's Highlights
   - Greetings and salutations everyone!  Two really quick update points to be made this week. First... My bad!!! I just realized I 'forgot' to post my weekly update on the 11th. In my defense I'm currently away from home and have been quite busy. (Note: The date 'may have been backdated a bit' to protect the innocent. ;-) )

  Second, and really the BIGGEST point to be made, after 24+ years v2.0 of the site is more than just some fever dream or drug induced hallucination... All I'm going to say right now is I have 5000+ links to start validating, plus a few more house keeping tasks but rest assured this site WILL BE CELEBRATING ITS 25 ANNIVERSARY IN STYLE!!!

• AMIGA TECHNOLOGIES RUSHES BACK ONTO THE MARKET: Following a five-year sabbatical, the Amiga side of the liquidated Commodore International Ltd, now called Amiga Technologies GmbH, and a subsidiary of Escom AG (CI No 2,695), will mark its return to the personal computer and games consoles market with the September launch of the Amiga 4000T Tower and A1200 machines. The primary objective was to get Amiga products back on the market as fast as possible, said Petro Tyschtschenko, general manager of Amiga.
• Amiga hangs its second coming on a scalable OS {ARCHIVED 10 Dec 2000}: AMIGA'S scalable operating system, Amiga DE, will be embedded in TV set-top boxes by Christmas, with handheld devices and games consoles scheduled for next year. Amiga president and CEO Bill McEwen, in Melbourne earlier this month to unveil the AmigaOne PC, says the rejuvenated company has set its sights well beyond the desk-top PC market. "We, as a company, are focusing all of our attention on OEMs (original equipment manufacturers)," says McEwen. "We have a consortium in Japan of 63 companies and this will be using our stuff on a whole new breed of handhelds."
• Telegram on Amiga: Diary of an MTProto Client in C: Telegram Amiga starts from a simple, slightly stubborn question: can you build a real, text-only Telegram client on Amiga-like systems in 2026, without turning it into a screenshot demo?
• CDBench: CDBench is an AmigaOS CD filesystem benchmark utility. It benchmarks the mounted AmigaDOS view of a disc, so it works with plain ISO9660, Rock Ridge, Joliet, UDF, bridge discs, and audio tracks exposed by the filesystem as files.
• 2MB memory upgrade for Commodore Amiga 500/500+: This is a two megabyte memory upgrade for the Commodore Amiga models 500 and 500+. It is a modern replacement for the original A501 0.5MB (512K) upgrade from Commodore. Add up to 2MB of memory to the machine depending on motherboard revision and Kickstart version (see below for details). Can provide both chip RAM and slow RAM in one expansion.
• Cursor set: Amiga {ARCHIVED 22 Mar 2020}: I have made a set of cursors based on one Amiga cursor (can’t find my reference image right now…) that I use on all my Windows machines (which, ehem, is all I got right now). The cursors are orange with a white highlight and black shadow, making them visible in as good as any environment. Here I also included a green version, which might be preferred by some.
• cursor.cc: {A few Amiga OS pointers & cursors for your website and the code to add them}
• Etherbridge - An Amiga Ethernet Network Driver: What's that? The Etherbridge device driver is an Amiga SANA2 compliant Ethernet network driver for AmiTCP/IP, Miami, Roadshow or other Amiga TCP stacks. It turns a cheap PC ISA network card in conjunction with a Commodore PC emulator card (A2088, A2286, A2386) into a fully Amiga usable networking card.
• Driver-AmigaOS-KS8851 : This is the AmigaOS network driver for the Amiga1200 Plus re-implementation
• A2386-PS2 - RAM Adapter: What's that? In the late 1990s when I bought a used A2386 Bridgeboard for my Amiga 4000, I felt angry that I should have to addinally buy expensive and aged ZIP ram for that card. For 2 mega bytes ZIP RAM I should pay 200 DM (~100 €) !!! {...} I remembered having some old 1MB-PS2-Simms lying around and thought that it should be a possible to use them on my Bridgeboard with only a small adapter. The result of my thoughts and work was that little adapter which can be installed into the free ZIP sockets of the Commodore A2386 Bridgeboard. The adapter is able to provide 8MB RAM which is the official maximum - with a trick also to incredible 16MB! (This needs a BIOS-Update!)
• Guru Meditation crashes in Amiga emulation: common mistakes: A Guru Meditation error can look dramatic {...} The good news is simple: most Guru Meditation errors in Amiga emulation aren’t random, and they usually don’t mean the emulator is broken. {...} The trick is to stop guessing and give the software the machine it expects.
• Fitz: Fitz is a lightweight, cross-platform, symmetric network file server and mounter for Amiga and Unix-like systems (Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, ...). No configuration files, no daemons, no hassle - just a single command line program for sharing and mounting directories ad-hoc style. For Amiga, a GUI prefs program is included. Fitz supports Amiga case-insensitive filenames, permission bits and comments, not only when serving from an Amiga, but from Unix servers as well. Support is provided through xattrs, and the required capabilities are detected and negotiated with clients at runtime.
• Commodore Amiga 500 Artwork: This site is a personal portfolio for my Amiga 500 creative work.
• name: These are some of the artworks I created on my Amiga 500 Plus in 1991. They are images I used to draw back then, mostly in Deluxe Paint and Brilliance. The artworks were recovered from VHS tape backups made from my Amiga. The slight blur and analog artifacts are part of the original preservation process, so I kept that feeling instead of trying to make everything look too clean.
• Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne is an open source disk utility application for AmigaOS 3.x, which can be used to show you what files and folders are taking up space on your disk. It is written in C and utilizes NDK 3.2 and ReAction. Features: Disk usage statistics, File/Folder search, Easy to use, Fast, No limits on size of files/folders & Graphical representation of disk usage

Today's Highlights
   - Greetings and salutations everyone!  Exciting news. I think after 24 years I may have FINALLY found someone willing to help me update the site in preparation for the 25th Anniversary relaunch! I'll be able to share some more information next week but right now things are looking pretty positive. With that said I would like to truly thank everyone from the bottom of heart who reach out to my posting. It was my pleasure to speak with each and everyone of you! More to follow!

• BIG news, as far as I'm concerned, FinalWriter 7.3 has been officially released! As as life long SoftWood Inc fan, I go back to their first word processor, Pen Pal. and I couldn't be happier that this GREAT word processor is back for OS 3.x and compatible on 4.x too! I'll be ordering my copy very soon!
• I don't believe I'm following this as closely as I should but new firmware and SW drivers have been released for the MNT ZZ9000 Amiga Graphics Card. Blitter Studio has picked up where the creators MNT have left off and look to be doing a fantastic job!
• And I would be re-missed not to mention the current sales of the Commodore Callback 8020. Over the past 5 days they have broken the 8k mark. I'm impressed! From what I read they most likely have more than broken even and have made a nice little profit too. But if this chart is accurate that's a good thing because it looks as if sales have started to level off. Although if they could keep selling ~100 a day thats over 35k and who am I to complain. As I stated before I didn't think this would 'break' them but it's not what I would have planned for their second act.
• New event: Pianeta Amiga is being held 26-27 in Florence Italy. "Like the mythological phoenix, the historic Amiga event is reborn from its ashes and is ready to welcome users, developers, companies and curious people again in a two-day event full of events and news". I've been to Florence and it a beautiful place to visit even if there are no Amiga's around. ;-)

• Softwood (ARCHIVED 28 Mar 1997}: SoftWood began in 1986 as one of the first software developers for the Amiga computer. We have developed and now offer the best selling, personal productivity software for the Amiga including Final Writer, Final Calc, and Final Data. {...} Although our love for the Amiga computer has never diminished, the realities of the computer industry has influenced us to broaden the scope of our business. After almost three years of development by an expert Windows® software developer, we now offer Final Writer for Windows® 95 and Windows® NT(tm). Our entry into the PC arena is like the proverbial David doing battle with Goliath. However, we are confident our product has what has been missing in PC word processors for years--ease of use and raw power!

Gateway 2000 bought the rights to the Amiga brand and its patents in a German bankruptcy court in March, leading to feverish speculation among the groundbreaking graphics computer's small but devoted core of fanatics. Gateway operates Amiga as a separate division, but until now has kept mum about its plans for Amiga
• A2000 Revision 4 Power Supply Unit: I came into possession of a non-working Amiga 2000 Rev. 4. The power supply let out the magic smoke. Unable to find any documentation online, and knowing that my analog electronics skills are limited, I decided to reverse engineer it to learn something along the way.
• Copperline: An Amiga emulator written in Rust, built around a vendored copy of the pure-Rust m68k CPU core, with a pixels + winit window for video and stdout for serial. {...} It covers OCS, ECS, and AGA (independent Agnus/Denise revisions, programmable blanking, machine profiles from the A500 to the A1200, CDTV, and CD32, with Gayle IDE, A2091 SCSI, and the AGA display path: 8 bitplanes, 256-entry palette, HAM8, FMODE wide fetch; remaining gaps are recorded in the internals docs). The timing model is taken seriously {...}
• AmiBLEHID: Connect a Bluetooth LE mouse or controller to an Amiga joystick port. With minimal other components (essentially just a 74HC05 and the joystick port connector), an ESP32-H2 module can be connected to an Amiga joystick/mouse port, and allow a BLE mouse or controller to be used with the Amiga.
• Catalyst: Hardware-accelerated TCP/IP and TLS offload library for classic Amiga — a drop-in bsdsocket.library replacement backed by a network coprocessor. Catalyst moves the entire TCP/IP stack, and TLS/SSL termination, off the 68k CPU and onto dedicated coprocessor hardware. The Amiga writes socket requests into a memory-mapped mailbox; the coprocessor does the networking and crypto. Existing Amiga network software runs unmodified, and HTTPS — historically punishing on a 68k because of the TLS handshake crypto — becomes fast because the cryptography runs in hardware.
• Debian PowerPC ROOT images: ROOT images for PowerPC machines. {Will work on the AmigaOne X1000}
• Catalyst: Offloaded TCP/IP and TLS for classic Amiga, via a hardware coprocessor mailbox. Drop-in bsdsocket.library + catalyst.library. Catalyst moves the entire TCP/IP stack, and TLS/SSL termination, off the 68k CPU and onto dedicated coprocessor hardware.
• 16 bit were enough: when Commodore Amiga computers ruled the Techno and Hardcore dancefloors around Europe : Everyone knows the commodore 64, or c64, or "bread box", of course. the single most sold unit in computer history, to this day. The "sequel" computer by the commodore company might be lesser known, sadly. the commodore amiga is a bit of a glitch in the timeline of Computers. When it was engineered in the 80s, it was way ahead of its competition. 4096 colors at once, build-in parallax scrolling, a GUI that looked (and worked) better than microsoft windows, multimedia abilities...
