Perhaps one of the greatest strategy games of the 16-bit era, The Settlers, did not get a sequel on Amiga. So, when The Settlers II came out in 1996, only MS-DOS and Mac OS enjoyed it. Aside from a release for Nintendo Wii in 2007, it didnt land on any other platforms. So, what about the Amiga? Well, amazing news has just dropped: The Settlers II Gold Edition (the 1997 edition) is coming to the Amiga in October 2025. |

In preparation of receiving the first Amiga 500 for my retro-computer collection, which sadly didn't come with an A501 RAM expansion, I decided to make my own memory expansion board for it. Keeping with the "using whatever I happen to have in my hardware bin" theme, I decided to use 30pin SIMMs in this. I had to use at least two modules, since each SIMM is 8bit wide and we have a 16bit bus to populate. |

The Pioneering Invention that Changed Music Forever. It all started with a Bach Chorale. In 1985, computers with fairly sophisticated sound chips were available to the home user. The Commodore 64's SID chip squelched it's way into our hearts, and Yamaha's CX5M - replete with polyphonic 4OP FM synthesis, certainly raised a few eyebrows. Sampling, however, was another matter entirely. The older Micros could play a train of pulse clicks at lightning speed - the result? A sample that was fairly crusty (1-bit) and taxed the CPU considerably. |

A few months after the first release of the Atari ST, the Amiga 1000 was released. This system is still legendary, and it very obviously deserves the legend: essentially every technology on that list shipped with the system out of the gate, in mid-1985, and continued from there. {...} That was not all the Amiga did, though. It was also the first consumer-level operating system with true multitasking of any kindallowing arbitrary processes to coexist throughout memory, with truly relocatable and sharable code modulesand it did this with modern pre-emptive multitasking, a feat that Microsoft would not match until 1995 and Apple would not match until 2001. |

This is a Walktrough book to build a new A1200.net case with original keyboard for AMIGA 1200 and floppy disk with a pc stick with windows 11. your AMIGA floppy disk will work with winuae or other emulators for windows computers configuring greaseweazle or arduino floppy interface to run in configuration under winue with AMIGA 500 or other type of AMIGA machine configuration. Pratically it is a pc with AMIGA original keyboard and floppy disk, you can use also Windows 11 or 10. |

But the A1222+ is finally with us. This article is a review of the new addition to the NG Amiga family, and it also finally features what many users have been waiting for, a comparison of the A1222+ with the Sam460LE. |

Theory of operation. The A3000 flicker fixer consists of two parts. The scan doubler which converts the 15kHz video signal to 31kHz, and the flicker fixer that converts interlaced Amiga screen modes to progressive 31kHz ones. So the flicker fixer is essentially only active in interlaced screen modes. |

The A600 Junior motherboard has some very useful improvements compared to the original Amiga 600 motherboard. One such improvement is a bunch of through-holes under where the RF modulator usually goes (and can indeed go, if you're that way inclined) that provide all the signals required by RGB to HDMI adapter boards, and also 5V and GND for power |

Amiga Disk File library. The ADFlib is a free, portable and open implementation of the Amiga filesystem. The main purpose of the library is to allow read and write Amiga-formatted devices and files being byte-level copies of such devices, called disk images or dumps. In case of classic Amiga systems, such files are most often ADFs or HDFs ("Hard Disk Files") containing OFS or FFS (there are also other Amiga filesystems, for instance PFS). |

The goal of AmiBootEnv is to turn a PC into an Amiga, as simply and completely as practicable. {...} AmiBootEnv's goal differs in that it is mainly focussed on providing a base (emulated) system on which to install and run your virtual Amiga(s). Consider it more as the machine itself, not the software. AmiBootEnv was inspired by the rEFInd boot manager, Rob Smith's amazing FloppyBridge and my own obsession with putting an Amiga on everything. |

What is AMIX and the Amiga 3000UX? Commodore hoped to capture some of the UNIX market by bringing out their own version of UNIX that would run on their workstations. Commodore's management at the time was thinking ahead and wanting to look very professional on all the levels. Starting with the Amiga 2630 card (that came with the Amiga 2500 computer) Commodore put the ability to 'dual boot' between the AmigaOS and AMIX. This feature was continued with the Amiga 3000 series and featured in the Amiga 3000UX which was the spotlight for Commodore's UNIX push. |

On this day, 39 years ago, on July 23, 1985, Commodore introduced its Amiga 1000 computer. And lets just say the world wasnt 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. |

I am far from the first person to make a new A1200 LED board. As I built a ReAmiga 1.5 I needed an extra LED board. I could have bought one but making something like this was a pretty good way to end a day of meetings and boring maintenance programming. The original used a rectangular lens with a pair of LEDs at its base. I've seen a single LED illuminating a light pipe, also a line of rectangular LEDs with no light pipe. I decided to try 3D printed light pipes. |

Amiga 3000UX offers SVR4 on an outdated chip without the Amiga PC's capabilities. Commodore is hardly a name you expect to hear bandied about in the UNIX workstation market. Yet, Commodore , positioning its Amiga 3000UX --stocked with UNIX System V Release 4 from AT&T, Open Look, and Ethernet support-- as a niche workstation alternative. Despite the good intentions, Commodore misses the mark with the Amiga 3000UX because of its small, 14-inch color monitor, limited software supply, poor price/performance, and no UNIX-to-DOS utilities. |

Deep dive into Escom's Amiga 4000 Tower. There had never been an Amiga better than Amiga 4000T. The T stands for tower, but this computer did not stand out in Amiga history due to its format factor, as Commodore had already been selling the tower version of A3000. Rather, it was the ultimate Amiga in what many call today the "classic" series, and nothing better or anything else for that matter has ever been produced in the classic Amiga line since this model was released. Let us take a deep dive into what one of the first reviewers in 1994, the year when it was released, called "the mother of all Amigas" and appreciate some of its unique features. |

A {LEGO} build of a Commodore Amiga 500 retro computer from the 80s and 90s. My family had one when I was a teenager. I spent a lot of time in Deluxe Paint III and AmigaBasic. The Amiga 500 changed my life trajectory and this is a tribute. |

Got an Amiga 500 plus? Havent removed or replaced the motherboard battery yet? Well if you havent heres the bad news; its got a good chance of having leaked on your motherboard. And if it has, and isnt rectified that battery electrolyte could well eat away at the tracks on the PCB eventually rendering it useless. {...} This short tutorial only covers the removal of the battery, either by breaking away or desoldering. It does not cover the replacement of the original battery with a modern coin battery and holder which can be purchased from the Amiga Kit store. I personally have never found a need to have a clock battery on my A500+ motherboard, therefore removal is all I cover here. |

This is an adapter board to retrofit a 2MB Agnus into an Amiga 500/2000 and also includes 2MB of chip ram. It is based on LIV2's design but is easier to solder and has been remade in KiCad 6. At present this particular design has only been tested on an Amiga 2000. It should, however, work on Amiga 500s as well, with the caveat that it might get in the way of the keyboard in the revision 5 Amiga 500 (if you try this please let me know). |

Last time, we got a toolchain working that will let us compile code for the Amiga 500, and we compiled some code with it. Now lets actually look at the code we compiled, and discover how it is that programs invoke operating systems services on the Amiga. {...} Using Libraries in C. Lets start by considering the source code line by line. Here it is in a friendlier format than typed into a screen-capped console window: |

Commodore Amiga computers were produced from 1985 until 1994. During the heights of its time Amiga was the leading home computer of western Europe. Models were created in a high-end workstation line, Amiga 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000, and a low-end home line, Amiga 500, 600 and 1200. All models used processors of the Motorola 68000 family, had video and audio chip sets (co-processors), and a graphical operating system with preemptive multitasking and a 32-bit address space. |

Okay, it's 10am UK time on the Sunday after Amiga's announcement at Amiga2K and I've just finished reading all the stuff out there filtering past me from the first day. I can see some people thinking they've just been the victims of an April fool, but I'm pleased to say Amiga haven't projected themselves as fools. {...} Hardware-wise, the Amiga developer system may not seem cutting edge in some places. The idea was to produce a box which was cheap to build and sell, yet powerful enough to be useful. |

The Amiga CD32 console, released in 1993, was Commodores follow-up to the CDTV. Essentially, it was a repackaged Amiga 1200 with a built-in CD-ROM drive and a bespoke 6-button joypad controller. Indeed, by plugging in a keyboard, mouse and floppy drive, you pretty much had a fully functioning A1200. {...} For these reasons, it can be worth emulating the CD32, so I thought Id write a short guide on how to do this using WinUAE. Fortunately, its pretty straightforward and wont take long. |

The Amiga line of computers, developed by Commodore International, represents one of the most innovative and beloved chapters in computing history. Introduced in the mid-1980s, Amiga systems were far ahead of their time, offering advanced graphics, sound, and multitasking capabilities. Despite their technical brilliance and passionate fanbase, the Amigas story is also one of missed opportunities and corporate mismanagement. In this article, well explore the history of the Amiga computers, from their origins and groundbreaking technology to their cultural impact and legacy. |

This is an implementation of a SANA-II driver for the Amiga, which allows you to use either a Pico W enabled BlueSCSI V2, or various WiFi equipped ZuluSCSI models to give internet access to the machine! This code is based on the MNT ZZ9000Net driver by Lukas F. Hartmann (which is based on work by Henryk Richter) and also borrows a little from the PlipBox device driver, which has several contributors. |

{...}And then I learned of the LazarusStorm project, which created an external board that plugs into the big slot on the left hand side of the 500 and provides a socket for accelerators like the PiStorm to be plugged into. This allows me to use the PiStorm externally on the 500, so I can unplug it when I want the 500 to be completely original again. |

Q: What are the differences between Cloanto's 3.X ROMs, and the original versions and updates released by Amiga? The 3.1 ROM, initially released in the CD hardware in 1993, was the last Amiga ROM version released by Commodore/Amiga. The 3.X series by Cloanto, first released in 1999, aims to remain as true to the original as possible while merging some essential updates, the most notable of which being the ability to boot from "large" hard disks. This was originally released by Amiga (under the ESCOM and Gateway ownership) as a "SetPatch", while the Amiga Forever ROM distribution made it officially possible to use it as a native ROM, without requiring a reboot. |

So Ive been happily using a 2GB SD card inside my Amiga 1200 for a while now but Im finding that I need a little bit more storage than this card will provide so Ive opted to swap this out with a 4gb card. However, my Amiga wont detect SD cards that are of the SD SDHC type (which most SD cards over 2gb usually are these days). Ive been struggling to find a 4gb non SDHC type card and it seems that the best option is to ditch SD cards altogether and go for CF cards instead. Cheap IDE to CF adaptors are abundant on eBay and brought one a few days ago. |

The CDTV was Commodore's attempt to build a multimedia entertainment station. It was designed to run interactive entertainment software or be used to manage multimedia displays, such as point of information terminals. The CDTV was also supplied with a wireless infrared controller. The CDTV is fully Amiga compatible and is capable of running the same software as conventional Amigas. Some versions of CDTV motherboard may have been upgraded by Commodore, so you may find a different revision mentioned underneath the sticker. |

Amiga fans have several projects to watch as we near the end of 2025. Today, we're looking at the intriguing Mirari, a new mainboard that is designed to breathe new life into the next-gen Amiga platform. The developers are several prototypes in and currently refining drivers to prepare the Micro-ATX form factor Mirari for a mid-2026 release. Amenities will include NVMe, USB3, PCIe slots, SATA (via card), and FPGA custom logic - all in a convenient Micro-ATX form factor. Expect to pay about $600 to $700 (500 - 600) for this AmigaOS4 and MorphOS platform when it is ready. |

Another nice example of how the Amiga was used as a low-cost video production workhorse. According to an article in a 1993 issue of "Amiga Kickstart" magazine (see links below), the music video for House Of Usher's techno track "Shades" was created on an Amiga 500+, using DeluxePaint IV. And you don't need glasses to immediately recognize somehow familiar colors and shapes. This looks very much like a production from the Amiga demo scene, only the sound quality is better, and the animation clips are more random. |

What Is This? An optimized port of SEGA's 1986 arcade game OutRun, utilizing the original 68000 assembly code, to mid-spec Commodore Amiga computers. Whilst small compromises have been made to accommodate differences between the arcade hardware and the Amiga - this looks and plays almost identical to the original. This is not an emulator. Nor is it based on Cannonball, MAME, or any existing project. It is a ground up rewrite in assembler, with a focus on performance. |

Thirty-two years on, [Neil] at The Retro Collective remains haunted by the memories specifically, the memory of BlitzBasic 2, an Amiga-specific programming language he never found the time to use. What better time to make a game for the Amiga than the year 2025 of the common era? |

It was released as public-domain and the release included the source code, which then meant that it was possible to port the program to other systems, including the Amiga. |

Often, these are minor defects that can be easily repaired. When you turn on an Amiga, the first thing that starts is a self-test. It checks specific areas of the computer one by one, and if an error occurs, an error message is displayed. |

Updated Amiga has now confirmed that it will use Linux as the kernel for its next generation operating system. The company signed a deal to use QNX last year, but now Jim Collas, president and CEO, has confirmed Linux is the favourite. Part of the reason, according to Collas, is because of the enormous interest in Linux in the computer industry. |

It may not make much sense for Amiga, inc., but the plan has merit. Analysis Amiga users have begun a campaign to persuade Amiga, inc. president Thomas Schmidt that the success of both company and community depends on taking a leaf from Linux's book and releasing the AmigaOS under an open source license. |

Amiga 500 Kickstart Selector with Bluetooth. {...} Traditionally, a mechanical switch is mounted outside the Amiga by drilling a hole in the plastic case (something I can't even imagine doing). More advanced methods use the reset wire to cycle through Kickstarts at each boot or based on how long the user holds Control-Amiga-Amiga, but even this method requires a wire soldered to the motherboard. The idea is to make the switch wireless via Bluetooth. |

{...} No type of hypertext-like utility was available on the Amiga--that is, until AmigaGuide came along. AmigaGuide can display plain ASCII text files and AmigaGuide databases. An AmigaGuide database is a single file that consists of a set of documents called nodes. If you were to convert a book into an AmigaGuide database, a convenient way to organize the database is to make each chapter of the book into a node. |

Small and simple application for viewing AmigaGuide files. This software was developed "quick and dirty" in about two days -- because I needed (or at least wanted) anything to view AmigaGuide files on Linux directly without converting them to other formats. It's not really feature complete yet (support for word wrapping and some other functions are missing) but it should render most guides quite well. AmigaGuideViewer is implemented in Java (14) and should work on Window / Linux / MacOS. |

Takes advantages of P96/CGX , MUI and AHI and AmigaOS3.1 and later. This is hugely based on Mame060 from triumph for the MUI part. |

It has certainly been a while since I played around with my AmigaOne A1222 system, so this weekend was the time to put things right! As an aside I was curious if the system is still for sale in 2025, following it's launch in 2024 - it seems so! I note that the AmigaOne A1222+ is available still from the AmigaKit France website, shipping as a complete system from Europe rather than from the UK. Not sure why that is, but it is still available there if you want one of these systems. |

It can also be used on the Amiga with the AmiWin X server, although this part needs some more work. |

All special effects for Babylon 5 are computer generated. Foundation Imaging, headed by Ron Thornton, produced the special effects for the pilot movie and seasons one through three. {...} For the pilot, the effects were rendered on a network of Amiga computers; later, Foundation used 12 Pentium PCs and 5 DEC Alpha workstations for 3D rendering and design, and 3 Macintoshes for piecing together on-set computer displays. |

So, you know Im a sucker for vintage computing. Ive been a proud owner of an original C64, an Amiga 1200, an Atari 130 XE, and a ZX-81, and a bunch of old peripherals and hacks that connect to them all in working condition. But today I got in the mail one very special rarity. Its an original, unopened, white, brand new, from the warehouse, Amiga 1200 Magic edition sold to me directly by no less than the legendary ex president of Amiga Technologies Petro Tyschtschenko. |

{...} Arexx is an intepreted language just like Amiga Basic, but the focus is quite different. Where Amiga Basic was a language you could use to write small applications and games, Arexx is a tool for automation. In modern language terms I would compare Amiga Basic with Python and Arexx with PowerShell. That is exactly how different these languages are to each other. |

A few weeks back, Christian "Perifractic" Simpson, former actor and founder of the Retro Recipes YouTube channel posted a video detailing possible plans to acquire Commodore. There is lots of history and backstory in the first video, but the gist is this: after contacting the current owners of the Commodore brand and trademarks for a potential licensing deal, the company itself was offered up for sale. |

A Short Word on AmigaDOS Scripts. Without getting caught up in semantics, AmigaDOS in this text refers to the command line portion of the Amiga computers' operating system. AmigaDOS is based on TRIPOS, but was expanded and added to by both the original Amiga team and then Commodore. One thing that remains basically the same is the parser for shell scripts, or sequence files as they're called in TRIPOS. The script parser is reasonably competent for a 1980:s home computer OS and can be used for solving real world made up programming problems. |

Im on a roll upgrading the Amiga 1000. This time, I replaced the PSU fan. The Amiga 1000 PSU uses an ETRI Model 126LH metallic fan that is AC-powered 220/110V. These fans are pretty good, silent, reliable, and used in computers and industrial-grade equipment. However, they all suffer from a common problem: after long years of continuous use, the fan bearing starts developing an annoying grinding noise due to a lack of lubrication. |

Much like the C64 Reloaded, the Commodore A1200 Reloaded will be a new motherboard using original MOS/CSG chips. It does not directly compare to any existing Commodore Axxx mainboard, but if you want a comparison basis, then an A1200 is probably the closest match. However, there are differences that also make it very much "not A1200". |

Much more unlike a traditional video game system, the Commodore CDTV was an attempt by Commodore to bring up a multimedia platform that could connect to a television. The console was launched in March of 1991, running on AmigaOS 3.1 and also functioning as an average Amiga computer with modifications. The very high price range, limited user support and poor sales made the CDTV a forgotten component of the video game console industry. |

Released 1991: The CDTV (an acronym for Commodore Dynamic Total Vision, a backronym of an acronym for Compact Disc Television, giving it a double meaning) is a multimedia platform developed by Commodore International and launched in March 1991. CDTV was essentially a Commodore Amiga 500 home computer with a CD-ROM drive, remote control, internal RF-modulator and MIDI ports. With the optional keyboard, mouse, and disk drive, it gained the functionality of the Amiga. |

The Commodore CDTV (Commodore Dynamic Total Vision) is a computer in disguise - as an interactive multimedia and entertainment system, designed to complement the typical home entertainment system. It was launched in March 1991 at the winter CES in Las Vegas, and was the first CD-ROM based consumer device on the market, although others followed shortly after. |

Information on this upgrade to the CDTV is nonexistant. One would speculate that it was indeed designed as a high end upgrade to the CDTV, or perhaps to be sold alongside the CDTV as an advanced model. Either way, the CR in its name denotes that it was at least considered a "Cost Reduced" model (despite the enhanced featureset). From what little we do know, there were about 60 of them made, with some featuring hard drives, and others without the flopppy drive (covered, as in an Amiga 3000). |

If youre a business leader, a manager, or a head of your department You may very well understand the importance of leadership. Ever heard the quote that says, A lousy leader may take a solid team and ruin it, driving the best workers away and demotivating the rest? A good leader may take a company to the heights of success while a bad leader may bring a company to dust. Something similar happened to the computer manufacturing company, Commodore. Before getting on to what led to Commodores failure, lets give you a small background of the company first. |

This is the official home page for Commodore Repair Toolbox (named as CRT hence forward) - a Windows utility tool for repairing vintage computers or peripherals. What is it? With CRT you can easily view schematics, zoom in/out, identify components, see chip pinouts, do manual circuit tracing, study datasheets, view oscilloscope readings, ressources and various other information, helping you diagnosing and repairing old vintage hardware. It is primarily dedicated to Commodore, and have a few built-in datasets for Commodore computers, but it does support any kind of hardware, as you can add your own data - e.g. other computers, radios, DIY electronics or whatever else you can imagine. |

Since the summer disclosure of an attempted management buyout at Commodore International Ltd (CI No 2,459), little has been heard of the Nassau, Bahamas-based parent company or any of its units around the world. Production ceased world-wide last April when the company decided to liquidate its assets, and since then the liquidators have been trying to balance creditor requirements with the search for buyers for the few remaining profitable arms of the company. |

When Commodore released its VIC-20 computer in 1981, one of the peripherals it also released was a matching joystick. Cast in white plastic like the VIC-20, the Commodore VIC-1311 looked like an albino Atari joystick from the same time period. The resemblance was uncanny, and Atari took notice. On October 11, 1982, Atari sued. |

Hey adventurers, the team thought it would be a nice idea for me to write about my latest episode of Magical Synth Adventure. In the video, I run a guitar through a 1991 Amiga 500+ Computer, though pretty much any Amiga computer can make these sounds, including emulation options. Here, I can add a little more detail to proceedings, plus the hardware & software requirements of this, er, adventure. |

What a difference a few extra MHz, a couple of megs of RAM and hard drive storage make to a standard A500. A whole new world of productivity and ease of use is opened up. So why not take the next step and ditch those boring icons and smooth out the fonts while keeping the OS lean and more usable? Classic Workbench provide packages of very handy prebuilt Workbench installs, however for my requirements, I wanted all the eye candy while keeping the system as fast as possible. So I rolled my own, so to speak... |

There's a lovely device called a pistorm, an adapter board that glues a Raspberry Pi GPIO bus to a Motorola 68000 bus. The intended use case is that you plug it into a 68000 device and then run an emulator that reads instructions from hardware (ROM or RAM) and emulates them. You're still limited by the ~7MHz bus that the hardware is running at, but you can run the instructions as fast as you want. |

January 2, 2000. Within the past few days, ownership of the Amiga rights, trademarks and technology passed from Gateway to Amino Development. People have asked for COSA's opinion on the sale, and for comments how this affects the campaign to open-source the AmigaOS. We believe the sale of Amiga to Amino is a good, positive step forward for the Amiga community, and that the new owners of the Amiga technology rights are the right people to steer the Amiga technology into the new millennium. |

The Amiga platform took the world by storm in the 1980s. Developed by a crack team and brought to market by Commodore, the OCS chipset brought high-quality graphics and sound into the home computer market in a way never seen before. These capabilities cemented the Amigas place in the demoscene, and it maintains an active development community to this day. [Hoffman] is one such member of that community, and has shared some of the hacks that go into pulling off a banging soundtrack in a cutting-edge A500 demo. [Hoffman] does a great job of explaining all the tricks involved in creating a compelling 5 minute soundtrack in just 200 KB of RAM. Theres discussion of compression, sample sizes, and the vagaries of the ProTracker format. Smart hacks such as prioritized sample loading and pre-rendering drum loops also help to get the project over the line. |

As a retro computing enthusiast, we where inspired by Rob Smiths Arduino Floppy Disk Reader project to develop a version specifically tailored for AmigaOS4. This journey was not without its challenges, but thanks to extensive modifications and deep system-level work, I was able to make it a reality. Waffle, now allows AmigaOS4 users to read old Amiga floppy disksa task that was previously impossible due to the incompatibility of modern hardware with floppy drives without external hardware like Waffle. |

We handled the basics last time; now well move on to running compiled and assembled code on an Amiga 500. This will involve the vbcc toolchain, much as it did when we were setting up a toolchain for the Atari ST. Fortunately, the process has been simplified a bit since the last time I checked in on them. |

During the Amiga's time, the way to rip music was changing. {...} During the Amiga's time, the way to rip music was changing. On earlier computers, most arrangers hard-coded all song data in the driver and even adjusted the driver to the songs, making them inseparable and impossible to hear outside games without ripping code as well. {...} Although the Amiga may have popularized interchangeable music file formats with MOD, many Amiga arrangers still hard-coded music, which to this day demands the CUST format. |

Back when EA was cool, they packaged their software in album-style sleeves and promoted their developers like rock stars. I was a Dan Silva groupie. VisiCalc on the Apple II. Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC. Aldus PageMaker on the Macintosh. Deluxe Paint on the Amiga. The computer industry loves a killer app, that unique piece of software that compels consumers to purchase new computer hardware just for the privilege of running it. I can personally attest to Deluxe Paint as it compelled even my technophobic mother to buy into its potential. |

A quick and dirty adapter that allows you to use a 27C4096 in place of a 27C400. Note this adapter is wider and taller. Amiga 500, 2000. May fit the A600 or other systems that need a 27C400 pinout. You may need to remove the socket and solder this straight in, and or solder the 27C4096 into the adapter... It's up to you! |

Users of many modern computers are used to the concept of dual-booting, where you can select from distinct operating systems when you turn the computer on. Linux, Windows and even Mac can all let the user pick an OS depending on what their particular requirements are but sadly not the Amiga. Or can it? {...} It turns out, with a little basic AmigaDOS know-how its pretty simple. Lets show you how, with a quick tutorial on choosing an OS based on Kickstart version. Here were using an A2000 with a hardware Kickstart switcher, with 1.3 and 3.1 selected with a switch on the back of the machine. |

The startup and venture capital world went through a boom from 1981 to 1987. In hindsight, it was a precursor to the 1990s technology boom and bust (a much larger bubble). Three failed products exemplify the boom well: the Commodore Amiga, the Apple Newton, and the Go PenPoint OS. These promising failures show that the line between extreme success and bankruptcy can be a thin one. Product specs, marketing plans, and market readiness are important but are difficult to gauge. |

The information on the diskette can be deleted and/or updated. The recording process is similar to audio tape recording where sound waves of varying amplitude and frequency are recorded on magnetic tape--but there the anaology ends. |

It allows you to use a conventional PC drive to accept Amiga disks, CLV Macintosh disks, bizarre 128-sector CP/M disks, and other weird and bizarre formats. (Although not all of these are supported yet. I could really use samples.) |

fuseadf is a simple libfuse-based filesystem allowing to mount a volume of an ADF image (of an Amiga floppy or a hard disk) and to browse/read/write files and directories it contains. Volumes (partitions) can be chosen with -p option (not needed for images with one volume only, ie. floppy disk images). By default, it mounts volumes in read-write mode, for read-only -o ro option must be used. |

The story of Amiga is not just one of a forward-thinking computer design, even though that design became the standard for the systems we enjoy even today. It is also a story about the clash of industry titans, of a series of seized, as well as missed, opportunities. And, of course, there was a dramatic, last-minute, rescue. |

Sure, Microsoft's battle for next-gen supremacy starts in November, but those who lean on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 for their gaming just got a little something to look forward to. Gameloft is readying a total of 15 games that'll arrive within the next 12 months and launch simultaneously on both platforms. {...} The recently-acquired Amiga Games will churn out 50 titles of its own onto Microsoft's desktop and mobile OS before year's end, and could bump the total up to 500 afterwards. |

Gaming magazines can be simultaneously a challenging and an invaluable source for early histories of digital games and gaming. They were often produced and sold at low costs to make them affordable to their often young reader base. {...} These magazines offered the readers a sense of belonging within specialised communities. Understanding the homosocial aspects of the culture that, in our case, German gaming magazines represented therefore means understanding gaming magazines not only in their written contents, but also in their style. |

Gateway managed to possess the Amiga for twice the time of the previous owner, yet did nothing with it. After buying Amiga Technologies in 1997 from the remains of Escom they set about developing a new system based upon the Amiga philosophy of simplicity and efficiency, coupled with close ties to digital TV technology. |

One feature that space does not allow for now is the ability to have software control of pixel switch disable. Now this is done with a mechanical switch. Pixel switch disable allows the user to completely ignore background video, yet have the Amiga computer genlocked. This eliminates the problem of software having to be written with genlock in mind. |

I dont usually go to many Amiga parties. In that sense, this year has been well above average, as I actually made it to three: a local retro meet-up in March, my demogroups annual reunion in August, and the Amiga40 event the previous weekend. Im happy to report that the fun factor kept rising with each one, with Amiga40 being the definite highlight. |

There is a sound card for the ZZ9000 Amiga graphics card called the ZZ9000AX. It is a small soundcard that is attached directly to the graphics card. I had some problems with the ZZ9000AX. Keep in mind that I am running the card on an unofficial Amiga motherboard so that might be the case (A4000TX) and not the fault of the soundcard. |

If you use Workbench and often run multiple programs, you know how cluttered the screen can get, making it difficult to find the window you're looking for. GoVD extends your Workbench screen to up to eight virtual desktops, making it much easier to manage your workspace. You decide which Workbench windows and programs are displayed on each desktop. Just switch desktops, and everything is neatly organized. With GoVD, you can break free from the limitations imposed by Commodore's traditional desktop layout and take control of your workspace. |

Looking back at the launch of the Commodore Amiga and its groundbreaking significance, on its 40th anniversary. On July 23rd, 1985, at a black tie event in the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City, computing changed forever. That sounds pretentiously portentous now, but the step up from 8-bit to 16-bit was a comparative quantum leap when placed alongside the slight improvements in graphics between console generations in the 2010s. |

A huge number of Amiga games contain hidden messages, sometimes encrypted, and often left deliberately to abuse the crackers of the games. There is a great thread on the English Amiga Board that contains a large number of secret messages, but it quickly became a nightmare to check if a particular game had been listed (as the thread is currently 23 pages in length!) For this reason, I have assembled all the messages into one page, and sorted them alphabetically. Enjoy! |

In the excerpt below, Davis explains how the industry made its technological leap from 8- to 12-bit graphics. |

Christian Simpson better known to the retro computing world as Perifractic from the YouTube channel Retro Recipes has just pulled off what might be the most audacious fan move in tech history.

On July 23th, 1985, the Commodore Amiga 1000 was introduced to the world. A true leap in computing history. A 4096-color palette, 4-channel PCM audio on a 16-bit Motorola 68000. One of the most revolutionary was the ability for true multitasking. Or, more fancy, real-time round robin pre-emptive multitasking. Something no other system could do in 1985, actually having multiple processes running. We love Amiga here and we love our set-up in the museum. We hope you agree :) |

One of the memories of my geek childhood is, without a doubt, the frenetic rivalry between Amiga and Atari, which I saw from the sidelines of my Amstrad CPC. Both systems, launched very closely in time, were called to replace the previous generation, 8-bit microcomputers, in our homes This left a level playing field between the two contenders, the Atari ST and the Commodore Amiga, who were fierce competitors and whose user bases developed the same loyalties and hatreds {...} |

Being able to write code on any system for AmigaOS 4, and test it easily, is the main topic for this post. I will try to describe below what are the available tools and how this can be done with the easiest, in my opinion, way. Of course, what I propose here is not the only way to do things, but this is my way. And this post covers only code that is written in C or C++. For other programming languages, a different approach may be necessary, although some parts might be the same. |

Why? Some old computers are limited to 16-bit PCMCIA slots, such as the Amiga A600 and A1200 systems. This restricts them to 802.11b WiFi cards which used the initial WEP (RC4) security standard. {...} This makes Prism2 based cards quite useful since most current access points will still support 802.11b radios provided they match the configured security requirements. There is a catch for Amiga users though - the card firmware cannot be updated using an Amiga. And 20+ year old PC laptops with 16-bit compatible PCMCIA controllers are not so common any more, making this upgrade quite a challenge. |

David Morse, Amiga Computer's co-founder passed away last week. I will remember him always. Dave, was always an inspiration to me... not only from back in the old Amiga days, but in the early days of NTG (3DO), Interactive Partners, and VideoStream, the company we built together. Then, in more recent years, his interest and contribution to my vision of REBOL and IOS. |

To announce the new product, Team Toaster released this infomercial featuring celebrity testimonials from pro skater Tony Hawk, magician Penn Jillette, and sentient mayonnaise smeared on white bread Wil Wheaton. It was impossible to watch this short and not think to yourself That cost how many thousands of dollars?? Still, it looks better than 85% of the movies we cover at RiffTrax. |

ISOCD-Win is a C#/.NET Windows replacement for the native Amiga ISOCD application written by Carl Sassenrath and other developers at Commodore. It creates bootable ISO image files which are compatible with the Amiga CD32 and CDTV. It was written to avoid the need to run the original ISOCD application either on a real or emulated Amiga, thus greatly simplifying and speeding up the process for the creators of new CDs for Amiga computers and consoles. |

This is a project I am working for quite some time now, and I believe that will help people set up and use AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS anywhere, as long as Qemu v10+ is available. My new project is called Kyvos, and pronounced as kee-vos. It comes from the Greek word ????? and it is translated as cube. Now, how is it connected with Qemu? Kyvos is a Qemu frontend designed to help users create AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS emulated environments on Linux, macOS or Windows systems. With Kyvos I prepared a manual of more than 70 pages, describing step by step all that it needs to install AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS and how to set them up, in the most easy way. |

However, as covered by AmigaNews, there is now a ChatGPT model trained specifically on Amiga development. Enter Amiga Guru. |

The MiniMig is a re-implementation of the original Amiga chipset, used in the A1000 and A500 using modern technology. The motherboard is designed using FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) - a method of programming hardware to operate in different ways, even mimicing the operation of other hardware. MiniMig is the brainchild of Dennis van Weeren, a Dutch electrical engineer, who developed it as a cost effective method of running Amiga software, without the need to source original Commodore hardware. |

But with some extra grunt and features like 4Mbyte ram and fast 68000 processor) on a circuit board about the size of a floppy drive. I must be honest. When I met Dennis for the first time at this years Codex, my first feeling was a mix between general puzzlement and happiness. I could but wonder I was not in front of an old and weird hippie. A hardware geek with long hair and even longer beard, wearing some silly t-shirt and thick glasses. |

This is a MOD/S3M/XM module player implemented in Javascript using the Web Audio API and runs fully within the browser. It has been tested and confirmed to work on Chrome 14+, Firefox 24+, Safari 6+ and Edge 20+. The Javascript performance of the browsers varies significantly, so some modules may stutter on one browser while the same module can play flawlessly on other ones. YMMV. Although internally each file format is handled by a format specific player class, a front-end wrapper class is used to provide a common programming interface for the player. |

Im writing this on the 23rd of July 2025. 40 years ago, The Amiga Personal Computer was revealed to the world at the Lincoln Centre in New York. Andy Warhol was invited to paint the famous Debbie Harry, live on stage with the Amiga 1000. You can watch the event on YouTube. Things have moved on quite a since then. The Amiga was quite probably, the first multimedia computer. It was pretty big here in Europe, especially in the UK and Germany in the 80s and 90s. Today, it lives on through enthusiasts who still make games, software and hardware for this legendary machine. |

The 68060 was the pinnacle of the 6800 CISC CPU development, sharing many features with the Pentium Processor. It was used as the heart of some famous computers, such as the Amiga 3000T and 4000T and the Atari CT60 / CT63. Finding these CPUs is getting pretty hard as they havent been made by Freescale/Motorola in over 10 years. There is also the issue of many fakes and counterfeits on the market, also not a pleasant experience to end up with. The 68060 was made in 3 versions: 68060 Full Version with FPU and MMU This is the best for running in your Amiga/Atari etc. 68LC060 No FPU Low Cost version. 68EC060 Embedded Version no MMU or FPU |

NetBSD/amiga is the port of NetBSD to the Amiga line of personal computers by Commodore and Amiga International and to the DraCo by MacroSystem GmbH. Development activity on NetBSD/amiga continues at a speed dependent on people's spare time. Currently, NetBSD/amiga runs on any Amiga [1] that has a Motorola 68020 or better CPU with some form of MMU, and on 68060 DraCos. For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required. 68LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment. |

It's no secret that I love making music on the Amiga. I've recently made videos on the native Amiga soundchip, realtime Amiga guitar effects and even exotic Amiga soundcards, not to mention an EP of Amiga-based music, so today's news of a new Amiga sound card interested me greatly. AmiGUS, a Zorro II-based card (for so-called big box Amigas) features an updateable FPGA core, 24-bit Audio, 32 channels of PCM sound, hardware ADSR envelopes and crucially - an open hardware approach. My complete speculation, is that open-sourcing things means that versions for the popular wedge-shaped Amigas might be a possibility. |

Do you remember those levitating lamps that were all the rage some years ago? Floating light bulbs, globes, you name it. After the initial craze of expensive desk toys, a wave of cheap kits became available from the usual suspects. [RobSmithDev] wanted to make a commemorative lamp for the Amigas 40th anniversary, but it was missing something. Sure, the levitating red-and-white boing ball looked good, but in the famous demo, the ball is spinning at a jaunty angle. You cant do that with mag-lev not without a hack, anyway. |

It is analogous to the Blue Screen Of Death in Microsoft Windows, and later used as an error message elsewhere, such as Varnish, a reverse proxy and HTTP accelerator, and VirtualBox, a Hypervisor environment.

The Commodore Amiga computer had a famous bouncing ball demonstration program, a checkered bouncing ball. It was a bit different than this, but this is certainly reminiscent of it. We love the Amiga demo so much that we created a special checkered ball primitive, AMIGABALL, and a second oid primitive, AMIGABALLOID, which is used to create the compressed ball. Rather than turning the turtle into a ball (one method), this method cleans the turtle track after rendering each frame of the animation (which we wait for using the NEXTFRAME primitive). |

The PowerPC adventureby far the most exotic release of OS/2. In December 1995, after unexpectedly long development (but is that really unexpected?), IBM finally shipped OS/2 Warp, PowerPC edition. For brevity, this release will be further referred to as OS/2 PPC. Following years of hype and high expectation, the release was very low key and in fact marked the end of development of OS/2 for PowerPC. |

This is a non-functional prototype of the PIOS One personal computer, main board and single-processor CPU module. So back in 1995, I was brought in to Amiga Technologies to consult with their management on the future of Amiga. We agreed that it was possible to design a PowerPC-based Amiga of some sort, and to port the operating system to a HAL-based, CPU-independent code base. This was actually happening. And then ESCOM got into trouble by overextending themselves, and it ended. |

IMPORTANT NOTE: This guide is made for the BUSTER version of the Rapsberry Pi OS. The necessary options for the BULSSEYE version will be included shortly. I will not cover here how to physically assemble the PiStorm and the Raspberry Pi A+, although it should be pretty straightforward: in a A500, take out the CPU, put the PiSorm in its place (pins for the RPi on the left side, close to the left end of the computer) and connect the RPi on it (no possibility -well, smol- of connecting it wrong). Instead, I will try to compile all the info scattered over several places in one single document on how to install the software. The info has been took from respective GitHub places, FAQ at Discord, PiStorm disk, etc., so thanks to the respective authors, i.e., Claude, Bnu, LinuxJedi, ChaosPif, Mcgurk and many others. |

The Raspberry Pi plugs into the PiStorm and emulates the native 680x0 CPU at much higher performance than the original CPU. The Raspberry Pi is running software emulation of the 680x0 CPU using Emu68 developed by Michal Schulz. |

Portable 68k Amigas. At one time or another the majority of Amiga owners have wished that a portable Amiga had been released. Its omission from the Commodore line-up has been puzzling, most of its competitors have developed a portable machine at one stage or another. Even Atari had some success in the laptop market! Unfortunately, the Amigas custom chipset has proven to be a hindrance to those who want a cost-effective 'Classic' Amiga laptop. For the moment, the only viable alternative is to use a Mac or PC laptop and a copy of UAE. |

Back in the early 1990's IBM, Motorola, and Apple released the PowerPC CPU. It originally replaced the 68000 in the Apple Macintosh computers, but was also used in systems such as Nintendo GameCube, Wii, Wii-U, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. Here's am FPGA project I'm calling the UnderpoweredPC. This is a minimal implementation of PowerPC in Verilog for an FPGA. It started as a copy of the RISC-V FPGA project, mostly just changing the core to PowerPC. The lcd.asm test program from RISC-V was converted to PowerPC. This program blinks and LED and when a button is pushed generates a Mandelbrot on the small LCD display. |

In an open letter entitled 'Delivering on our promise to the Amiga community', QNX's CTO, Dan Dodge, said the QNX beta would ship in the autumn, initially on the x86 platform, "the hardware solution most widely available at low cost in the time frame that we wish to release the beta". |

This is a port of id software's Quake World for AmigaOS 3.x, AmigaOS 4.x, MorphOS, WarpOS and PowerUp. QuakeWorld is a multi-player specific version of Quake, optimized for playing over the internet. It allows a server to predict the movement of an object based on its current speed and trajectory, so the server doesn't need to receive continuous data from the client and can deal much better with lags. |

The past few years have not been kind to the Amiga Community. Since the demise of Commodore, the ownership and future of the Amiga has been continually uncertain. The only thing that has remained constant is the loyalty of Amiga users. It is with respect to this loyalty that we feel it necessary to let YOU know the current state of affairs and what QuikPak is doing to see that the Amiga has the successful future it so deserves. |

All operating systems have the ability to create a disk or drive in RAM such that the resulting disk can be accessed either as a hard-drive or a floppy and be manipulated by the operating system just like a physical drive. All Amiga versions create a RAM drive on the Workbench that is precisely that: a drive that can be read and written to just like any other volume. A RAM drive is inherently volatile such that after a reboot, the RAM drive is cleaned and all contents deleted - except when creating a drive out of non-volatile RAM such as the one backed by a battery. |

RADRunner is an application to assist in cross development of Amiga software. Its two main functions are the transfer and execution of executable files, without the need to have any file system mounted. The most basic use case is that the Amiga acts as the server, running RADRunner in "server mode" and the computer being used to cross compile the Amiga software under development acts as the client, running RADRunner in "client mode". The Amiga then has RADRunner "listening" for incoming connections. After cross compilation of a program on the development computer, RADRunner then sends that program to the Amiga and instructs the Amiga to execute it. After this, the programmer repeats the edit/compile/execute on the development computer. |

Geehaf asked some questions about how to read Amiga disks in the MEGA65, so I started looking into what's involved. Note that this is for reading Amiga disks from the MEGA65 core, and has no impact on any future Amiga core that would allow you to run Amiga software on the MEGA65. That is quite a separate activity, that we look forward to seeing, but isn't what I'm working on today. |

This was Commodores ambitious attempt at a home theater set-top box, blending multimedia with computing in a way that was ahead of its time. But, as with many vintage machines, keeping it in top shape requires some hands-on work. |

The user group was focused on the Classic Commodore Amiga but also newer developments such as the NG (Next Generation) Amigas which eventually came to be known as the AmigaOne. A lot has changed since then. The Classic Amiga is now well and truly a retro machine. The NG Amigas came and went, and are now mainly a niche product. The user group is now focused on 1980-1990 era retro computers in general, such as Commodore, Apple and Atari machines. This also includes the Amiga of course! |

Two Amiga sales brochures (circa 1985) that came with a near-mint quality Amiga 1000 system I purchased on eBay. I purchased the first Amiga 1000 sold in Virginia back in October 1985. I recall seeing the first, smaller brochure around that time. I have no memory of the second. I've scanned them for the enjoyment of both Amiga fans as well as those that missed that great ride.

Depending on what your computer hardware can do, there are a number of different ways to approach displaying a scrolling game. We used to have to evaluate each machine that we were writing for, and then design our games around the advantages. That all comes unstuck, of course, when you're asked to convert a game from one platform to another. |

This is one of the ports of SDL to the AmigaOS3/68k platform. I cannot comment much on the origins of the code contributions to this port. I've kept the files I got into my hands, along with the various existing Makefiles. The main purpose of this branch (based on SDL 1.2.14, AFAIK) was to provide some bugfixes and performance improvements. Towards the latter point, most of the blitting functions have been rewritten in 68k ASM. Also, some of the routines can switch to AMMX usage (where applicable). This SDL version should work on all Amigas with RTG (Picasso96 or CyberGraphX). |

I remember when the original Settlers was released on Amiga in 1993. I was living in Alice Springs at the time, and buying most new release Amiga titles was impossible there. So I never got to play it. {...} Thanks to the efforts of some amazing coders, and using some of the more recent tools like AGABlaster for CDXL conversion of the videos included in the original, we have a version for Amiga that works on classic Amiga 030/040/060 as well as AmigaOS4 based PowerPC systems. |

In 1989 the concept of multi-layer parallax scrolling, and 120+ colors on screen running on a stock Amiga at 7mhz was unheard of. And yet Psygnosis and Reflections made it possible. As a game - Shadow of the Beast was a disappointment, but as a tech demo? It's one of the greatest ever made. In this episode we take a deep dive into the graphics of Shadow of the Beast. |

Amiga got Paula sound chip which is a fantastic 14-bit soundcard. But what if you want to upgrade the Amiga sound to be fully 16-bit or that you want to make multiple channel mods? Then you need a 16-bit card. Also, many soundcards for Amiga also got a DSP that can be used for playing MP3s on Classic Amiga machines with 68030 or 68040. The sb128.audio Mediator AHI driver for all MediatorPCI models for Classic Amiga supports Sound Blaster 128 sound cards. |

In September 1979 the world of computing changed forever, with the release of the Motorola 68000 CPU. The 16/32-bit CISC microprocessor was the first in a family of chips that continued until 1994. The 68k's swan song came with the monolithic 68060; Motorola's last roll of the dice before embarking upon their RISC PowerPC adventure. |

In letting the March 31, 1984, deadline slip away without signing a licensing agreement with Atari, David Morse was taking a crazy risk. If he couldnt find some way of scraping together $500,000 plus interest to repay Ataris loan, Atari could walk away with the Amiga chipset for nothing, and Amiga would almost certainly go bust. |

The Commodore/Amiga honeymoon could hardly have been more idyllic. Honoring the wishes of everyone at Amiga to not get shipped off to Commodores headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania, Commodore instead moved them just ten miles from their cramped offices in Santa Clara, California, to a spacious new facility in Los Gatos, surrounded by greenery and well-tended walking paths that gave it something of the atmosphere of a university campus. |

In the years following Jack Tramiels departure, Commodore suffered from a severe leadership deficit. The succession of men who came and went from the companys executive suites with dizzying regularity often meant well, were often likable enough in their way. Yet they were also weak-willed men who offered only timid, conventional ideas whilst living in perpetual terror of the real boss of the show, Commodores dilettantish chairman of the board and interfering largest stockholder Irving Gould. |

A group of engineers from Commodore dropped in unannounced on the monthly meeting of the San Diego Amiga Users Group in April of 1988. They said they were on their way to West Germany with some important new technology to share with their European colleagues. With a few hours to spare before they had to catch their flight, theyd decided to share it with the user groups members as well. |

Commodore Internationals roots are in manufacturing, not computing. Theyre used to making and selling all kinds of things, from calculators to watches to office furniture. Computers just happen to be a profitable sideline they stumbled into. Commodore International isnt really a computer company; theyre a company that happens to make computers. |

The Amiga 300 is officially a model that doesn't exist. You won't find it on any old adverts, in a museum, or on the shelf of your collection. Or will you? There is a chance you have one, but you just don't realize. As one has just come into the Pure Amiga workshop for a bit of refurbishment, we thought it an ideal time to find out a bit more about it. |

Amiga lore is full of exciting tales. Many of them are retold to demonstrate how the incompetence of Commodore's management destroyed a platform that, by rights, was destined for success. Coulda, shoulda, and the Amiga woulda risen as rightful ruler of all other computer platforms, forever and ever. Amen. One of those stories is about how Sun Microsystems allegedly showed interest in the Amiga 3000 during the early 1990s. It's a classic Amiga anecdote, usually recounted without much reflection, and one I've certainly helped perpetuate. Alas, the more I think about it, the less it adds up. Fact or factoid? Let's speculate! |

[Dave] takes a look at how Commodore succeeded and then lost their way by the time the 600 rolled out. Keep in mind that low-cost was a relative term. A $500 price tag was higher than it seems today and even at that price, you had no monitor or hard drive. So at a $1,000 for a practical system you might as well go for a PC which was taking off at the same time. |

Of all the home computer stories, Amiga is probably the most interesting, diverse and long. One reason for that is the number of machines Commodore produced for the Amiga line in an attempt to diversify and capture the market throughout the 80s and 90s. For that reason and to ensure you have adequate toilet breaks, this documentary will be broken into two parts, and following in the lines of chronological ordering, we begin, like all things, at the beginning. |

The Commodore Amiga began its life at Atari. Jay Miner, an engineer at the enormous video game company and the creator of the Atari 800 personal computer, wanted to create a console centered around a 16-bit processor and a floppy drive, which would make development for the new console very easy and inexpensive. {...} Amigas Origin. Miner lined up $7 million in investments from a group of dentists, and Hi-Toro was formed. Hi-Toro had two divisions: one to produce games and peripherals for the Atari 2600, the other to develop the new console, which was named Lorraine (after the wife of CEO Dave Morse). |

{video} This 1 hour 26 minute video was released by Audition Computer Services and is an insight into the set up and configuration of an Amiga A500 and Workbench 1.3. Released in 1990, the video is aimed at first time users so is very basic in it's approach - it was intended to give an overview of basic funtionality and describes in sections the CLI, Shell, Printers, disk copying etc. The video production looks very dated! |

What is it about ? First and foremost, this is a preservation project. Workbench are a significant part of the Commodore Amiga History such as the Kickstart roms. This is more or less like having the original MS Windows or Mac OS in their original factory state lost forever. This initiative came from the observation that many of the Commodore Workbench adf images floating around the web for years were made without paying attention whether they came from unaltered or unmodified disks or faithful to their original factory state. For example, very few images contained in the TOSEC project are marked as being verified. {...} What you will find on this website is only information about the floppies that contained the Workbench and Kickstart software such as part numbers, Version and revision data, year, country and above all CRC data for dumps and the status for these dumps. |

Why this was created. This is the AMOS Professional manual that have been reworked for the modern web. It was first digitized by Asymetrix in 2008 and uploaded to Aminet and other places. However the HTML version was made for browsers current at that time and also closely followed how the paper book was laid out. This meant that navigating though the book was much like scanning to a chapter and then flipping pages. Asymetrix did a great job getting the manual in the hands of people no longer able to purchase original which has gone out of print. We owe him a great thanks. |

One friday afternoon in July, 1984 the rumor floated through the halls: Jack Tramiel had bought Atari, and we were all going to be killed. Or laid-off. Or something. My office-mate had worked at Commodore a few years earlier (where Jack had been CEO) and said If this is true, Im quitting. Im not working for Jack again; hes a monster. I didnt know anything about Jack, but this wasnt a good sign. |

The circled Commodore CDTV Brick was a 1990s CDTV input device that sadly never made it to retail shelves. Instead, it appears that its functionality was integrated into the Commodore CDTV CD1200 (below). The design of this Brick is entirely based on reverse engineering the protocols from the CD1200 Trackball, CD1252/CD1253 mice, Brickette, and the CDTV Remote. |

Commodore buy QL beater, said Personal Computing Today in November 1984, referring to Sinclairs hugely unsuccessful QL machine. Byte Magazine in April 1984 had a small news story about how Joystick maker Amiga Corp. is developing a 68000-based home computer with a custom graphics coprocessor. Both outlets were excited by the prospect of a microcomputer that would be much more powerful than anything currently on the market, but in both cases, were quite reserved about it. |

If you want to code Amiga AGA demos, are able to program, but don't know how to get started on the Amiga, then this document is for you. Also if you are already more experienced on Amiga and want to learn about how we do our demos. This document describes how to set up and use the Haujobb Amiga Framework on Amiga and PC. The framework allows for prototyping, debugging, and timing effects natively on the PC (currently Windows mainly, but Mac and Linux should work as well); and then cross-compiling for the Amiga. We have used these exact codes and workflows for our demo Beam Riders; and prior versions for Last Train to Danzig and Prototype 1. This document guides you through setting up the required components in small steps with immediate incentives leading up to a complete example demo with timing done via the Rocket editor. To get started, first read the guide to the document section to find your way around. Then go and make a demo about it! |

The hot spot determines where your mouse cursor is pointing, i. e. the exact pixel that is considered the active pixel. This isnt necessarily the top left edge. {...} For a mouse pointer of 1616 pixels, like the classic Amigas had, you could encode the hot spot as two bytes in the range of 0 to 15, with (0,0) being the upper left corner. The actual implementation takes a different route {...} Why is that? Apparently, this is related to a bug in the MoveSprite library call. |

The "Lorraine" is the original prototype Amiga from which all other models are drawn from. It consisted of a 68000 probably running at 7.16Mhz, 128K RAM and a 64K ROM to hold what would have become known as Kickstart. The Early chipset consisted of Angus, Portia (which later became Paula), Daphne (which later became Denise) and various other custom logic arrays which eventually became IC's. The actual Lorraine is a mass of development breadboards and wires with a base unit and keyboard. |

These units and sketches are owned by ex-Amiga engineer Dale Luck; alas, none of them are functional currently. |

July 1995 The Beehive Logo. At the first Amiga Technologies GmbH press conference, several pictures of a new design for an Amiga tower case were released. The design had a small `beehive'-like logo which was obviously intended as a new symbol for the Amiga. When these pictures were distributed on the Internet, much dicussion ensued on the Amiga-related Usenet newsgroups. In general, people liked the design of the tower case but were unsure about the small triangular logo. |

Background. The Amiga custom chips (affectionately named Alice, Lisa and Paula in the AGA version of the chipset) were remarkably powerful for their time, enabling the Amiga computers with their modestly-powered CPUs to perform graphical and musical feats that required heavy computation on most contemporary platforms. This challenge aims to discover just how powerful these chips really are by exploring what they can do completely on their own, without the CPU even telling them what to do. |

The Sage IV computer was the ideal development platform used by Commodore engineers for testing and refining early hardware prototypes. It was essentially a development and debugging environment that helped simulate the behavior of the eventual Amiga hardware. As the Lorraine prototype was being developed, it used a combination of early versions of the Motorola 68000 processor and custom chips that would form the backbone of the Amiga architecture. |

It was essentially an attempt to recreate the legendary puzzle game Tetris, but specifically inspired by Ataris arcade version of Tetris. As a result, much of the focus was on two players competing against each other simultaneously on a split screen. |

Why is the Kickstart disc in the left hand when the disc drive on the Amiga 1000 is on the right side? In 1985 the Amiga 1000 came to life. With it the Amiga Kickstart v1.0 and the Amiga Workbench v1.0 also came into our lives. All of us whos been around an Amiga in the 80s or the 90s are familiar with the Amiga Kickstart logo (the left hand holding a disc) but are we all clear about why the disc is held in the left hand? Sheryl Knowles, the artist behind the Amiga Kickstart logo image, was right handed and when creating the logo itself she held the disc in her left hand drawing it with the right. |

Controlling your houses thermostat with your phone may seem cutting edge, but in the 1980s, you could program a Commodore Amiga to do the exact same thing. Thirty years later, one such archaic system, at least, is still hard at work. |

{...} Rob Smith Dev has shared on their YouTube channel over two videos (1, 2) of them building the game (via Hackaday), called DiskFight. The Amiga-based machine challenges you with popping in floppy disks at high speed to gain points. Smith created their own linear actuators to load underneath the floppy disks, to give springs under the floppy disk the force to either entirely bounce out of their holder, or press up just a little. |

On April 23, 1987, Thomas Rattigan drove to work just as he would any other day. But when he arrived at Commodores office building in suburban Philadelphia that morning, company guards informed him hed been fired. They escorted him from the premises, not even giving him a chance to gather his family photos from his desk. It sounded like a cruel April Fools joke, but it wasnt April Fools Day. That was the day Commodore promoted him, on April Fools Day 1986. Rattigan ended up having the last laugh, although it took a few years. |

TOGA, The Other Group of Amigoids, was formed in 1991 by Lawrence Brown. He had moved to California from another state where he was involved with an Amiga user group called Amigoids. Lawrence is no longer involved with our group. He currently works for Cisco Systems in Menlo Park, CA. While with Cisco and with Cisco's help, he was actively involved in getting computers (specifically Amigas) in to local schools. |

AmiGUS is a modern high quality sound card for the Amiga. {...) By supporting established frameworks such as AHI and MHI, we ensure that the card is compatible to a wide range of already existing applications. In addition, the card's true power lies in its highly sophisticated wavetable engine, which provides a powerful feature upgrade to PAULA, supporting 32 true hardware voices using 32 MB of sample memory. The good news is that, in order to use these features, you don't need a fast CPU. AmiGUS can be used on ALL Amigas with a free Zorro Slot, since all of the computational heavy-lifting is performed by the hardware acclerated functions on the card. |

A Commodore Amiga, for those who dont know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 6800 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. |

By now most floppy disks have been relegated to the dustbin of history, with a few exceptions for obscure industrial applications using legacy hardware and, of course, much of the worlds nuclear weapons arsenals. In fact, theyre so rare to see in the world anymore that many below a certain age dont recognize the save symbol commonly used in application user interfaces. Without a use case, and with plenty of old floppies still laying around, [Rob] took a pile of them and built this Whack-a-Mole-style game. |

Commodore was an American manufacturer of home computers and electronics. The company, which was founded by Jack Tramiel and Manfred Kapp, was a major player during the burgeoning PC market of the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Commodore failed to keep pace with advancements in personal computing, which opened the door for IBM and Apple. This lack of innovation was no doubt caused by the appointment of a CEO who cut research and development funds to almost nothing. |

There are many individuals who have probably never heard of the Commodore home computers and are unaware of their incredible legacy and the tremendous impact which they have had upon the evolution of computers. Some of the younger generation who are too young to remember the 1980's may still not have seen or heard much-- if anything-- about Commodore computers and likely have very little sense of their significance. Likewise, many of the middle aged and older generation who did not develop an interest in computers until recently may be equally uninformed. However, most individuals who were involved in the home computer and electronics fields during the 1980's are probably somewhat familiar or quite familiar with the Commodore products and their history. |

This is a department at Commodore West Chester which was formerly named Commodore Amiga Technical Support and was later renamed Commodore Application and Technical Support. These are people that work independently of Engineering, but close together with them, and try to help developers outside of Commodore to create nice Amiga applications, software or hardware. To achieve this, CATS has gathered a lot of informations and tools, on floppy, CD, or paper. Much of this material is also available to the general public. But don't mix this up with some sort of Hotline for everyone! |

Last night, at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, Tramiel and Wozniak joined several other veterans of the 80s PC wars in celebrating the 25th anniversary of Tramiel's Commodore 64 - the home machine that many call the best-selling personal computer of all-time. |

I often see on places such as Facebook that an Amiga owner will show a fault they have with their machine, and the immediate response youll see is recap it. Now, Im not saying that recapping isnt needed, for the SMD caps used in Amigas, it always is. But that isnt always the problem either. A bad recap can make things worse. Which leads me to todays story |

Released in 1993 as the first 32-bit CD-based console, it had the technology to lead but failed spectacularly in execution. |

A RAM disk exactly what it sounds like: using a portion of a computer's RAM as a disk. The benefit is, above all else, speed. The drawback is, naturally, less RAM available for running software. The Amiga has a RAM disk. So what? RAM disks are commonplace: in most Unix-like systems they're just a mount command away, and on other systems there's probably at least one third party tool available for creating one, if the OS isn't capable out of the box. |

Hello and welcome to the best website on the internet for information on the Commodore CDTV. This site is dedicated to the first computer to be sold as standard with a CD-Rom drive but this is not a historical site, Not by any means, the Commodore CDTV is still alive and kicking bottom, With its idiot proof interface (Just put the CD in and it will load), Its good looks (Would you like a computer which doestn look out of place next to a DVD player or VCR?) and its upgrade potential. |

In the past few years I ended up adding 68000 to naken_asm and my view of the chip actually kind of soured a bit. At my job I did some coding on a partial x86-64 assembler / disassembler and the instruction encoding didn't seem that bad. I've also got used to little endian and have seen some advantages of it as a programmer. Anyway, working on those two projects made me want to implement x86 and 68k in an FPGA and do a comparison of the two architectures. This implementation has only the basic instructions of both chips. All addressing modes are supported, but many instructions that either aren't used much (or at all) or can be done with other instructions have been stripped out. |

xmtolsp is a tool that converts FastTracker 2 XM modules into Amiga LSP (LightSpeed Player) format. Historically, Amiga developers have primarily used ProTracker MOD format for music in games, demos, etc. Although many productions play MOD files directly using libraries like PTPlayer, there are computationally faster options. LightSpeed Player "renders" MOD files into a lower-level format that provides the Amiga audio hardware with pre-baked, frame-by-frame instructions. |

Welcome to my website where youll find my ramblings about my retro computing systems, namely my two Amiga A1200s, my Sinclair ZX Spectrum collection, and my BBC Master 128. Oh, and theres an Acorn Electron too. I like to use AMOS on my Amiga and release a number of tutorial videos around this. (See my AMOS playlist on YouTube.) |
