Or: How a Guy in an Atari T-Shirt Became CEO of the Company That Made Your Childhood. Remember when the wildest tech news was which smartphone had slightly better cameras? Well, buckle up buttercup, because 2025 just served us a plot twist that sounds like it was written by someone who binged too many 80s movies and too much caffeine. 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. He bought Commodore. Not a Commodore computer. Not some Commodore merchandise. The actual, honest-to-goodness Commodore brand itself. |

In a nutshell, Hombre is a collection of utilities aimed at users of low end Amiga models (like the A500) who want to transfer files from their PCs. It is both versatile and easy to use. All the software crammed onto the disk comes from legal sources and can be freely distributed (this compilation is NOT for sale). The major change in Hombre v1.01 is the addition of ProNet that lets you access Amiga's drives via WinUAE running on your PC (sort of like DNet from the previous version but works with later kickstart revisions. I've been using it with the ClassicWB P96 pack which has ProNet pre-installed). |

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 :) |

Whenever a LCD monitor comes around, it's worth testing if it's suitable for Amiga use. According to sources, this one partially supports Amiga screenmodes - I gave it a try, or two. Let's quickly run down the features of the monitor. This is the "partial support" information gathered from famous website 15khz.wikidot.com: 'No practical evidence. I kindly ask author to provide more information. Support is considered "Partial" for now. "Full" can be after test.' |

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 {...} |

Commodore’s contribution might have been obscured in history as “just one of the many PONG clones”, but it has to be said that the two systems it released, the 2000K and 3000H (also referred to as the TV Game series) were quite different as they were the first programmed systems to play PONG. |

This guide will examine how the Amiga’s operating system architecture and custom chips allowed remarkable multitasking abilities for the era. We’ll look under the hood at concepts like preemptive multitasking, prioritized processes, and fast context switching that enabled the Amiga’s celebrated multitasking prowess. |

You can do so for example by inserting some ADF (preferably a copy, or an empty one!) to your Amiga emulator. Make sure your emulator settings allow for writing to ADF files. Format the disk (ADF) if required, then extract lha to that disk. |

Back on the Atari ST and Amiga illegal copies were a big problem. It's impossible to stop, but it was often worth trying to at least make it hard for copies to get cracked and distributed. For some reason, we suspected press versions might be a source of leaks. So for Ambermoon, I implemented a fingerprinting mechanism. And lo and behold, it helped us identify a leak! And now that I've released the source code, I can more easily show how I did it. |

One of the most common questions about the Amiga is how many units were sold during its lifetime. According to various sources, the Amiga line sold an estimated 4 to 5 million machines worldwide. However, exact figures are difficult to come by, and there is some disagreement among experts about the actual number of units sold. |

The Amiga platform has exhibited amazing longevity for something so plagued by problems. And for a platform with such problems, it's been an excruciatingly slow march to resolve matters. Amiga is still running a twenty-year old operating system on chips that haven't been updated in over eleven years, and is only able to use anything modern through emulation or as an add-on card. What other platform offers accelerator cards faster than the main CPU by a factor of ten? Enter QNX Software Systems, contracted by Gateway in 1997 to create a desktop operating system based on its embedded QNX Neutrino micro-kernel environment. QNX was a significant player in the embedded industry and had a reputation for efficient, real-time systems that oversaw everything from medicine drips to auto-assembly robots. It looked like such finely-honed technology would be the proper bridge to the second coming of the Amiga. Appearances, however, can be deceiving. |

Back in 1997, the QNX (pronounced either Q-N-X or Q-nix) operating system was positioned to play a vital role in the ongoing development of the Amiga platform. Georgios Panayio provides historical background about the proposed relationship between the two projects and shows how QNX’s alleged breach of contract resulted in causing significant damage to the Amiga platform. |

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. |

For cable providers, the Amiga’s capabilities for displaying content on a television were a bit of a godsend. Previous offerings, such as the Atari 800, were able to put messages onto a television screen, though not without much in the way of pizzazz. As a result, the Amiga quickly became the cable industry’s computer of choice in the pre-HDTV era, especially after the release of NewTek’s Video Toaster in 1990. Video Toaster, which at first was only compatible with the Amiga, made it possible to do complex video editing at a small fraction of the cost of specialized professional video-editing platforms, and that made it popular with public-access TV stations. |

After getting it online this has to be the next best thing your can do with your Amiga. Being able to access a network share on the Amiga is really a liberating experience. It affords you not just the freedom to quickly access files you may have downloaded on your PC but also near unlimited extra storage for your Amiga. It’s quite a straightforward process and I’ll go through the whole thing from start to finish in this post. |
