Today's Highlights
   - I've been meaning to update the page for the last two weeks or so but I got caught up thinking "It's the new year. There's no rush". Now I look at the calendar and it's February already?!? Holy cow! Where did January go? Time to pick up the pace again!

Latest News
    - The only interesting tidbit of news I read was a post thread at AmigaWolrd about a Settlement and extension of court dates in the ongoing saga of Amiga IP ownership. As pointed out in the court docs was a line that read

    "The Parties resumed settlement discussions to resolve all of the matters between them in October 2020. On Thursday of last week, the Parties reached the terms of settlement on the main agreement. The only tasks that need to be completed are for the Parties to attend to seven ancillary documents, including an assignment and novation agreement, mutual releases, stipulations of dismissal, and documents related to a proceeding in Belgium. In addition, Hyperion requires additional time to confer on one point with counsel in Delaware regarding a security interest. The additional time requested will enable the Parties to focus exclusively on finalizing documents and following through with the settlement."

    Is this a reason to get excited? Nope. Just another document to be added to the pile. Better luck next time...

Our goal is to renew the Commodore brand and place in the market as this glorious name deserves, by producing awesome devices at fair prices. We’re not here only to look with nostalgia at the past of the first Commodore company that everyone has known in the 80s.

    • The Buffy Accelerator: The Buffy Accelerator, so named because of it’s Vampire killing ability, is a zero-FPGA, zero-CPLD, pure-CPU accelerator for the Amiga Computer. It is designed to fit inline with a 64 DIP socket and should be compatible with the Amiga 500, 1000, 2000 and CDTV. It’s based on the amazing Octavo OSD335x System-in-Package which hosts a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor (about 2000 MIPS), 512MB or 1GB of DDR3 memory as well as various peripherals. It runs PJIT from a small eXecute-in-Place (XiP) Flash ROM and is not designed to run and general purpose operating system itself.
    • Buffee Accelerator: Buffee is a Dual-Inline-Packaged Motorola 68000 accelerator based on the Octavo OSD335x-SM available with 512MB or 1GB of integrated SDRAM and capable of providing (at least) 68040 400MHz level of performance. The firmware side of this can be found on github here: nonarkitten / pseudo-jit
    • The Buffy Accelerator Pseudo JIT: PJIT is part of the Buffee Project. PJIT is a real-time version of JIT that avoids the traditional issues of dynamic memory allocation and non-determinism. It is designed to run as a bare metal process on ARM microprocessors operating in big endian mode to provide transparent access to a traditional 68K bus. It is useable with ARM SoC that integrate only a modest (by today's standards) amount of memory.
    • Amiga 2000 A314 Adapter: The A314 project provides a Raspberry Pi expansion to the Amiga 500 through the trapdoor expansion. Much of the 'magic' is being able to transparently access chip RAM without interfering with the performance of the Amiga itself. However, the Amiga 500 is also the ONLY Amiga model to feature this peculiar expansion interface. This board will add a standard 56-pin "trapdoor" interface to the Amiga 2000 and Amiga 1000 equipped with a Rejuvenator.
    • ScanPlus AGA for Amiga 1200 - 4000D: {Just in case someone else is looking for this same thing} For connecting on a flat VGA monitor, Natives Amiga resolutions supported (PAL, NTSC, DblPAL, DblNTSC, Euro 36 / 72, Super 72, Multiscan), Connected on Alice and Lisa chips, VGA backplate included, simple DPMS screensaver utility included.

    • Belgian Amiga Club: Welcome to our website! As you can see, we chose English as the main language for this website, because it is cumbersome to maintain it in all 3 official Belgian languages. Also, we can safely assume that the Belgian Amigan is quite proficient in the English language, since most of us used to buy or read English Amiga magazines, back in the day.

    • Inviyya: A horizontal SHMUP for the line of classic Commodore Amiga computers, Inviyya will feature 6 unique organic levels each with its own enemies and bosses, couple of special weapons, 3 layer parallax scrolling and nice music and sfx. Should work on every existing Amiga with at least 512k Chip and any other form of 512kb extra RAM (chip, slow or fast), PAL or NTSC ( for NTSC I recommend some slight acceleration above standard 7mhz 68K. Game is playable as it is, but it will look smoother in a couple of situations with a bit extra oomph.).
    • Amiga Parceiro: New device that provides the following features: 8MB of Autoconfig Fast RAM. It is a single 8MB of SRAM versus DRAM, so it really and truly is indeed fast with zero wait states, Coin-cell battery backed Real Time Clock (RTC), which comes with its own clock software that gets put into your startup sequence & SD Card Reader with 2GB MicroSD. It comes pre-formatted with the FAT32 file system and is readable on any PC as a result. This way you can quickly set up your new SD-based hard drive.This twitter account is currently connected to the official facebook page ?
