Today's Highlights
- Happy Holidays!! Another quick update. Just like the 'Boy who cried Wolf' I don't expect anyone to believe me when I say... ***I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE TO HELP ME FINISH THE SITE***
I know I can't believe it either. So with that said soon I will post some kind of 'status chart' to show how things are progressing. Upon completion the site will look 'almost' the same but behind the scenes I will have a fully functioning Admin Portal and more streamlined code to work with. For you, the user, you will have the ability to add new links and even rate them, add news and calendar events and a few more surprises too.
For the past 20 years this site has been a labor of love and I promise... It's only going to get better from here! Now if the same could only be said about the Amiga herself....

- A2088 XT Bridge Board A2088 Upgrades and modifications: {A nice and useful page about the board, various upgrades and modifications.
- Enable FloppyDriveBridge support (Optional): Amiberry supports Robert Smith's FloppyDriveBridge controller, which allows you to read/write Amiga floppies using supported USB floppy drives. To enable this functionality, besides the actual hardware (supported floppy drive, floppies) Amiberry also needs an external library that includes all the custom logic for operating these drives.
- A-EON AMIGAONE X5000 Technical Reference Manual: {A-EON AMIGAONE X5000 Technical Reference Manual. Also as a PDF download}.
- Arduino Amiga Floppy Disk Reader: This project uses an Arduino to interface with a floppy disk drive and communicate with a PC in order to recover the data from any formatted disks. This includes Windows software to copy from and to ADF files. This project is what is behind getting real floppy disks loading in real time into emulators like WinUAE and Amiberry.
- Commodore Amiga 2000 Teardown: {Tear down of the A2000 with dozens and dozens of pictures!} Updated 1/8/2011: Dave Haynie, lead engineer for the Amiga 2000 (B2000-CR), has posted several comments about the Amiga 2000 and his worked on the project in this gallery's discussion forum. I encourage everyone to read his posts. And, I would like to thank Mr. Haynie for taking the time to share his experiences.
- Amiga 4000 Daughter Board recreated: This is a recreation of the Amiga 4000 DaughterBoard. I have made it from ground using the A4000 original schematics. It includes all the Zorro slots and also include a VGA 15khz output connector to use with a VGA metal bracket. The ISA ports has been removed from the design. Some new options has beed added on the new version 1.2. This work great on all the Amiga 4000 revisions, except of course the A4000T. If you like the project or want to support it, you can buy me a beer or a KO-FI :)
- ReAgnus: A drop-in replacement PCB for the Amiga Agnus chip. This is WORK IN PROGRESS and not tested yet. If you generate gerbers and order PCBs from this source you are doing so completely at your own risk!. It is a prototype, treat it as such. Current design is a four layer board designed for soldering Pin headers 1.27 mm pitch 4 x 21 single row right angle, 0.4 mm square pins.
- Arduino Amiga Floppy Disk Reader/Writer aka DrawBridge: My Aim: In 2017, Create a simple, cheap and open source way to recover and rewrite data from and to an Amiga DD floppy disk from within Windows 10. My Solution: An Arduino sketch + a Windows application that actually works! Why: To preserve data from these disks for the future. Also, a normal PC can't read/write Amiga disks due to the way they are written.
- The A-EON Amiga X5000: An alternate universe where the Amiga platform never died: The Amiga computer was a legend in its time. Back when the Macintosh had only a monochrome 9-inch screen, and the PC managed just four colors and monotone beeps, the Amiga boasted a 32-bit graphical operating system in full color with stereo-sampled sound and preemptive multitasking. It was like a machine from the future. But the Amiga’s parent company, Commodore, suffered from terminal mismanagement and folded in 1994, just as PCs and Macintoshes were catching up technologically. The platform, like many others before it, seemed to be at an end. So when a brand new Amiga computer arrived at my doorstep in 2017, you can imagine it was quite a surprise. Accordingly, the Amiga X5000 is a curious beast. In some respects, it's more closely related to its predecessors than either modern PCs or Macintoshes. Yet this is a fully current machine capable of taking on modern workloads. How such a device came to be is a fascinating story, but that's not our goal today—let’s dive into what the experience of using the X5000 is like.
- Amiga Inc. anounnces the AmigaOne (Archive.org): October 21, 2000, Melbourne, Australia - It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce the first new Amiga hardware in over 6 years. The AmigaOne, our first consumer product, will be targeted at the desktop and workstation market. Further products to follow will cover the markets from Personal Digital Assistants and upwards. All these products will run a single piece of software, the revolutionary Amiga Digital Environment (DE). We completed the AmigaOne specification three months ago, and dubbed it the "Zico". It is a specification and not a product because Amiga is a software company, not a hardware manufacturer. The ability of the Amiga DE to host itself on multiple hardware and operating system platforms frees us from hardware dependency and gives our partners and our customers the freedom to chose the hardware that best suits their needs and tastes.
- Amiga Hardware Reference Manual: The Amiga Technical Reference Series is the official guide to programming Amiga computers. This revised edition of the Amiga Hardware Reference Manual provides detailed information about the Amiga's graphics and audio hardware, and how the Amiga talks to the outside world through peripheral devices. This edition has been updated for version 2.0 of the Amiga operating system and covers the newest Amiga computer systems including the A3000. This book is intended for the following audiences: * Assembly language programmers who need a more direct way of interacting with the Amiga than the routines provided in the system software. * Designers who want to interface new peripherals to the Amiga. * Anyone who wants to know how the Amiga hardware works.
- Amiga Video to Pi HDMI: The Amiga Video to Pi HDMI is a card designed for the "big box" Amiga video slot. Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, it can convert and output HDMI video from the Amiga native video formats (only OCS modes are supported). Background: Inspiration for this project began when I saw online the open source Amiga-Digital-Video project by c0pperdragon. It would be more convenient to not have to remove the Denise and run a cable to the rear of the chassis when the Amiga 2000, 3000, and 4000 already have a video slot which can be used for this purpose. Intended use: With the Amiga Video to Pi HDMI in your Amiga 2000/3000/4000 video slot, you get a HDMI video port exposed from the rear of the chassis. This video port provides the Amiga's native video in a format that modern monitors and televisions readily support.
- amiga-pi-to-hdmi: This project implements a board which plugs into a big-box Amiga Video Slot (A2000 or A3000) and uses a Raspberry Pi Zero to process the Amiga video output in realtime to provide HDMI video output for the computer. It also partially works with the A4000, but is limited to 12-bit video (the A4000 chipset supports 24-bit) and only OCS resolution screen modes.
- AmigaRGBtoHDMI: LinuxJedi's designs for Amiga RGBtoHDMI boards.
- Amiga Video to Pi HDMI: This project implements a board which plugs into a big-box Amiga Video Slot (A2000, A3000, A4000) and uses a Raspberry Pi Zero to process the Amiga display video in realtime to provide HDMI video output for the computer. The Amiga Video to Pi HDMI is a card designed for the "big box" Amiga video slot. Using a Raspberry Pi Zero, it can convert and output HDMI video from the Amiga native video formats (only OCS modes are supported). The schematic design is based loosely on LinuxJedi's CPLD version of the Denise socket Amiga-Digital-Video module for OCS and ECS Amigas with a 48-pin DIP Denise. It uses software for the Raspberry Pi Zero that is developed by hoglet67's multi-platform vintage hardware RGBtoHDMI project.
- ARIX: ARIX is a set of libraries inspired by the AmigaOS application interface, placed on top of a linux kernel. The libraries provide basic memory management (allocation, reallocation, filling memory etc), thread and process creation, inter process communication and many more. The ARIX libraries themselves does not depend on any other high-level linux libraries apart from some very low level things, such as /lib/ld-linux.so or the dynamic/static library dependencies introduced by the gcc.
- Remembering Kiki Stockhammer: Kiki Stockhammer was once one of the most visible people on the internet, and in the video graphics industry. In the early 90's, she worked for a company called NewTek that made in innovative new product called Video Toaster. At the time, this product was designed for use on the Amiga computer, which had better graphics than any other. Video Toaster started the desktop computer video graphics revolution and won an Emmy. In 1994, Kiki and a number of other NewTek employees left and started a new company, Play Incorporated. This company also produced innovative video graphics products (it's technology is used in the new "Star Wars" movies). Kiki Stockhammer was the "face" of Play, Inc., appearing in their ads, and representing them at just about every computer convention and trade show there was. One of the company's products, GlobeCaster, was the worlds first internet TV station-in-a-box, so Kiki began appearing on an internet TV broadcast called "Kiki at Midnight". In 2000, Play Incorporated was bought out, and Kiki disappeared from the Internet and trade show scene, never to be seen again. I have no idea what happened to her, so I set up this page to remember her in pictures.

The board will have an IBM 750GL at 800 MHz with 1MB of L2 cache, and will support processors up to 1Ghz. Also: “One of the biggest changes to the Amy05 design from our first released specification is the addition of the AMD Geode CS5536 companion device. For Project Prometheus/Amy’05 this becomes Amy’s Southbridge.” The current board is is a development board, and will be made available in a limited quantity for hardware testing/OS4 development.

- UltimatePPC Accelerator for Amiga 3000/4000: It’s not often you hear about new PPC-based accelerators for the Amiga, but today I received an e-mail from an Amiga user in Norway (Mads). He wrote me some words concerning an upcoming PPC-accelerator for the Amiga 3000 and Amiga 4000. Thanks a lot for the information mate. The board is called UltimatePPC and it is a multi-function CPU-card for the Amiga computers mentioned above. It plugs into the CPU slot of the machines. The specifications are very interesting.

- Books You Should Read: Bil Herd’s Back Into The Storm: This is the premise behind our Hackaday colleague Bil Herd’s autobiographical chronicle of time in the mid 1980s during which he worked at Commodore, maker of some of the most iconic home computers of the day. We follow him through the three years from 1983 to 1986 as hardware lead on the “TED” series of computers including the Commodore 16 and Plus/4, and then the Commodore 128, a dual-processor powerhouse which was arguably the last of the big-selling 8-bit home computers.

- ReAgnus Board (Design Complete): This board is designed to allow me to re-engineer Agnus (cycle exact) and enable us to build Amiga's into the future. It was built out of necessity to get me a 8372AB for my ReA3000. But i should be able to reassign the pins for other Agnus revisions (provided the power pins are always the same). Design is an ICE40HX4K FPGA + Level Shifters. It solders into a PLCC TH socket like Megachip. I'm sure someone will ask why I didn't put ram on here.. Simple. I'm a purist. I want this chip to replace Agnus and nothing else.
- OpenPCI MultiOS/MultiHardware PCI/AGP Drivers: Project of unified library and drivers for Amiga/Amithlon/Pegasos PCI/AGP Bus. This library is a wrapper for use lot of PCI Bus on Amiga/Amithlon/Pegasos (GrexA1200/A4000 (require cybpci.library and latest Grex 68040/68060 library), Prometheus (require prometheus.library v2.x), Amithlon (require powerpci.library v2.x), Pegasos (require Pegasos+MorphOS)).

- Why Amiga failed: I defiantly celebrated the 25th anniversary of Windows 95 by buying myself an Amiga 500. That relic from 1987 did everything Windows 95 did, and it ran an operating system that first appeared on the market 10 years before Windows 95. It was easily 10 years ahead of its time. But it flopped. Here’s why Amiga failed. There wasn’t any single thing that brought Amiga and its parent company, Commodore, down. If anything, the Amiga is a cautionary tale of how good engineering won’t save you if you get everything else wrong.
- Pacman 500 & MsPackMan 500: Pacman arcade 1:1 remake attempt for Amiga 500/1200
- RxEnv Tools for your ARexx development environment: Coding in ARexx on the Amiga can be great fun. It's a quirky little language by modern standards, nevertheless I find it to be a highly enjoyable experience. Still, ARexx was born in 1987, and it lacks many of the comforts we take for granted when working with younger scripting languages. I've always felt that it's suffered greatly from the inability to include other scripts, allowing the programmer to build a small library of functions that can complement the built-ins. I also frequently miss a Read, Eval, Print Loop.
- Tech Blog – Removing AGA Display Trashes: Many AGA Amiga users have experienced irritating flashing display "trashes" appearing in higher resolution AGA display modes like DblPAL or Multiscan. In general opinion these artifacts are caused by AGA chips overheating, being loaded with larger amount of video data to process. This opinion is so common, that even Jens Schönfeld in user manual for his Indivision AGA scandoubler, recommends attaching a radiator to the Alice chip if trashes appear on the screen. Unfortunately it does not work, as I've learned myself.
- How the Amiga could have lived to age 30 and beyond: It was 30 years ago this week that Commodore released its landmark, long-time-coming Amiga 1000 computer–the first 1990s computer in a field full of 1970s retreads. Yes, it was a 1990s computer in 1985. It had color and sound built in, not as expensive, clunky, hard-to-configure add-ons. It could address up to 8 megabytes of memory, though it ran admirably on a mere 512 kilobytes. Most importantly, it had fully pre-emptive multitasking, something that previously only existed in commercial workstations that cost five figures. It was so revolutionary that even NBC is acknowledging the anniversary. Being a decade or so ahead of its time was only the beginning of its problems, unfortunately.
- Commodore computer models: The Commodore 64 is by far the most famous and successful computer Commodore ever made. But there were numerous Commodore computer models over the years. Some were also successful. Some were complete flops. Overall Commodore had a good 18-year run, but it could have been so much longer and better. Let’s take a walk through the Commodore computer models from the beginning in 1976 to the bitter end in 1994.
- MediaVault: MediaVault is an open source desktop application, for AmigaOS 4, which can be used to discover online radio stations.
- Deniser - Amiga Denise chip replacement: Deniser is a drop-in replacement for the Amiga computer Denise chip. This repository contains board design files, FPGA logic source code and synthesis scripts. The idea is to make the material available for anyone to build and program the board for use as a Denise chip replacement.
- Should the Amiga be revived?: Every few years, we hear a story in the tech news about how some company is going to resurrect the Amiga computer, and I always have mixed feelings when this happens.
- Interview with Carl Sassenrath: To celebrate the 1000th article of Obligement, Carl Sassenrath returns through this long interview on its origins at Amiga Inc. in the 1980's (Manager of AmigaOS and Amiga CDTV system development, among others), the bankruptcy of Commodore, its passages at Apple Computer and Viscorp, Amiga NG, or on its new revolutionary language REBOL. A great name of Silicon Valley !
- The Double Life of Dave Haynie—A Rajant Engineer and Commodore Legend: In celebration of the Commodore 64’s 38th anniversary, a tale needs to be told about a Rajant prodigy who also happens to be a Commodore superstar.
- Amiga QuickBasic Compiler: An experiment in alternate history: what AmigaBASIC could have looked like, had it been developed further tailored to the Amiga OS. What AQB is not: AQB does not try to be a clone of any particular BASIC dialect - neither QuickBASIC, FreeBASIC or VisualBASIC nor any particular Amiga specific BASIC implementation like AmigaBASIC, ACE, HiSoft, GFA, Blitz or AMOS. While it strives to be as compatible as possible with the Microsoft BASIC family of languages (and certainly has many QuickBASIC traits) the primary focus is on the creation of a modern, clean, Amiga OS-compliant, future-proof BASIC that is tailored towards modern Amiga application development.

- Amiga Report Magazine: Amiga Report Magazine was published between March 1993 and April 1998. As one of the first regularly-published online magazines, it broke new ground for the information revolution to come in the Internet age. Amiga Report published over 100 issues, overseen by three editors. The first, Robert Glover, modeled the publication after the long-running Atari-focused STReport, and quickly migrated the magazine from a text format to the pioneering AmigaGuide hypertext language. As Commodore struggled and the Amiga commercial market deteriorated in early 1994, Glover handed off the magazine to assistant editor Robert Niles. Niles, along with regular contributor Jason Compton, used Amiga Report as a platform to update Amiga users on the Commodore bankruptcy proceedings. Compton became the third and final editor in late 1994.
- HippoPlayer: HippoPlayer is a music player for macOS, Windows and Linux that mostly focuses on music made for systems such as Amiga, C64, and gaming systems. While HippoPlayer supports MP3, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, etc it's not the main target. The original HippoPlayer is something I used a lot when I had my Amiga. Over many years I tried various players and while some of them hold up none of them has been what I been looking for. Before starting this project I looked around quite a bit for alternatives and nothing really fit the bill.
- Amiga Boot-up Screen Colors and System Error Checklist: When you boot up your Amiga you are always greeted with a series of flashing screen colors. On most days the screen will change from dark gray to a couple lighter shades then white before marching on. On bad days, it flicks over to an actual color of the rainbow, each with its own heart-stopping meaning. What do those colors mean? And what is the Amiga doing during the boot-up process in the first place? The following is a collection of ancient and excellent information compiled from various sources.
- AmigaGuide: AmigaGuide is a mark-up language for hypertext documents, introduced by Commodore International in 1992 as part of Workbench 2.1 and later extended in Workbench 3.0 and 3.1. This article describes the AmigaGuide format and provides a complete list of its commands.

- A1000 Rejuvenator: This project aims to re-create the original Rejuvenator, and eventually improve on the original design. Schematics and board artwork are complete, and have been fabricated and tested. Several design errors on the original Rejuvenator which required bodge wires and trace cuts to rectify have been identified and eliminated in the new design.
- GimpILBM: A GIMP plugin for importing/exporting IFF-ILBM.
- CARLSEN ELECTRONICS: This site is dedicated to users of 8 bit Commodore Computer hardware. I had been doing consumer electronics repair work since 1964. I retired from my "day" job as a repair tech at the University of Washington in Seattle back in 2009 and likewise don't do consumer electronics repairs at home any longer... except for Commodore and related 8 bit computer hardware such as the C64 and C128 series and their peripherals. I don't repair the Amiga line or the PETs but I do make a replacement power supply for the Amiga A500, A600 and A1200 in addition to ones for the CBM C64, C128, VIC20E (early) and VIC20CR (late) and Plus/4 computers. {Ray Carlsen is a LEGEND!}

- Hello everybody!! Well I'm back for now. Sorry for the lack of updates over the past month but it has been a very busy month. On the plus side the nice thing about being away for so long is there's no lack of things to talk about or sites to add.

- Two stories to highlight. Amikit's legal actions against Amiga Addicts magazine and Evert Carton's testimony in the 'Never Ending Lawsuit'. So instead of trying to put my own spin on situations I am just linking the news stories from the always wonderful Amiga-News.de
- Amigakit threatening to oppose registration of 'Amiga Addict' mark in the UK.
- And the happy news it has been resolved. (Amiga-Addict)
- Evert Carton on the settlement agreement from 2009.
- And Hyperion's response to Evert's testimony.

Commodore-Amiga Sales Figures: Information on the sales of the Amiga throughout the world may be lacking in many respects. However, there are some figures available that indicate how many were sold during the Commodore era. These only show official figures, the number of Amigas world-wide has been estimated to be 4 times as much.

Amiga Enforcer: Enforcer is an advanced debugging tool for Amiga computer systems equipped with a 68020/68851, 68030, 68040, or 68060 CPU. It uses the MMU to help detect stray pointers and access to invalid memory. The Enforcer archive includes tools to help identify the exact location of bugs, including the line of source code in most C or Assembly code, as well as some other languages. Enforcer was instrumental in the development and testing of AmigaOS 2.04 (and up) and to the improvement of the quality of software on the Amiga. Enforcer is designed to provide more debugging capabilities across more hardware configurations and with more options than ever.
- Pictures from Amiga shows: This site contains pictures I have taken at some European Amiga shows and other events since 1998.

Next generation PowerPC library for classic AmigaOS (work in progress): This project is a reimplementation of WarpOS for various PPC PCI cards for the Zorro 3 big box Amigas. It is a rewrite from assembly to (mostly) C of the SonnetAmiga project.
