WHAT IS "THE DIGITAL UNIVERSE"? "The Digital Universe" is an award-winning astronomical simulator package for the Amiga computer. Since release, it has become the standard software package for the amateur and professional astronomer. With our new lower price, we expect the software to become more accessible to the casual astronomy enthusiast, and to those interested in generally learning more about astronomy. The software will run on any Amiga computer with Workbench 2.04 or greater, at least 3 Mb of memory, and a minimum of 11 Mb of hard drive space (17 Mb of disk space are required for a full installation). Due to the calculation-intensive nature of this software, an accelerated Amiga and math chip (FPU) is strongly recommended, though not required. |

As we all know, the Amiga was a marvellous machine that, upon its introduction, brought about a real revolution in all fields: from the fabulous chipset that gave us graphics and sound never seen before in the consumer field, to the extremely fast multitasking OS with a practical and simple graphical interface that relieved us from typing abstruse commands. Unfortunately, Commodore did not know how to capitalise on the incredible technological advantage it had in its hands, and preferred to play it cool by procrastinating its development and evolution for several years, lulled by the enormous distance that the competition of the time was in. |

Lets say you don’t have a GoTek drive or Compact Flash card, how on Earth do you transfer data between your Amiga and a PC? In the days before the GoTek there was another go-to tool for transferring data between an Amiga and PC: Amiga Explorer by Cloanto. Using this application it was possible to transfer not only data between the systems but also create Amiga Disk Format (ADF) images from Amiga floppies, apply ADF images to Amiga floppies, and even copy the Amiga Kickstart ROM. In this article I’ll run you through how to install and use Amiga Explorer with a standard Amiga 500 (512MB of RAM) connected to a Windows 10 PC using a null-modem cable over the serial ports of each system. |

Theory of operation. This board allow to connect all type of floppy drives to the Amiga external D-Sub 23 floppy connector; Original Amiga "Shugart" drive, Gotek floppy drive emulator, IBM-PC floppy drive (720K and 1.44M). It can operate as DF1, DF2 or DF3, depending on the J4 jumper position. Two mode of operation are possible; Native "Shugart" mode can be selected with J1, J2 and J3 jumper between pin 1 and 2., IBM-PC mode can be selected with J1, J2 and J3 jumper between pin 2 and 3. Onboard logic makes all drive to be seen as 880K standard Amiga floppy drives. |

This project was initially made for the purpose of using an internal Amiga floppy as a secondary drive for copying disks. But later, I added jumpers so that PC floppies can be used too, since these are easy to find. I later also found it useful to have a jumper selector for selecting DF1:, DF2: and DF3: |

Amiga enthusiasts are keeping their fingers crossed now that a German bankruptcy court has accepted an offer by Gateway 2000 to buy the assets of Amiga Technologies, which fell on hard times last year after pioneering multimedia applications for computers. "Amiga has been in limbo for a long time," Dale Larson, president of Intangible Assets Manufacturing, said Friday. "Users of Amiga computers have been tearing their hair out." IAM produces a variety of products for the Amiga platform. "Gateway has a lot of resources and they have a management that understands technology," Larson said. "If they apply these things to Amiga, it can only be a good thing." |

Amiga Recovery is a program that can read Amiga Fast Filesystem (AFFS) disk images and recover files off of them. I originally called this program Amiga Explorer but recently changed it because the name conflicted with another project. Next time I'll Google for the name first :). |

This page describes how to transfer data between an Amiga and a Linux based PC. I focus on mechanisms which can be used for stock Amiga systems. Network adapters exist for the Amiga too, so it can be connected to a regular network and corresponding tools for data transfer can be used, but this is not the scope of this document. |

The blog entries that are in the “Amiga Floppy” category make up the bulk of the content on the site about the Amiga Floppy Project. This project is the trials and tribulations of the making of an external amiga floppy drive controller. Attach a regular PC drive via IDE to the FPGA hardware, connect the FPGA via USB to a PC. Run the Java software, create .ADF images from the physical amiga formatted floppy disks. |

Font Editor for AmigaOS 2.x/3.x. One piece of software I was missing in my Amiga times was a convenient Bitmap font editor. Commodore shipped one with the Kickstart 1.3 Extras disk but decided to discontinue that program with the introduction of Kickstart/Workbench 2.0. As I'd like to have some extra characters in the fonts I regularly use, as well as custom fonts for my own convenience, I looked into disassembling the abandoned Commodore FED sometime in the 90s. |

Hi I'm Andrew. I'm just a regular guy (and a bit of a geek) who is into retro gaming and computers. Having recently ventured back into the world of Amiga, I have a few projects on the go. Whilst researching online and looking for guides to help with my projects, I found that a lot of the information out there seemed to assume a level of background experience and knowledge that was above my own. This led to some frustrations, where I was unable to get things working. |

This is now completely obsolete but I've left it here as it contains quite a few ideas some of which may still be relevant. N.B. 28th November 1998. After placing my last set of designs on the web I had some comments from Dave Haynie which I kept in mind when I decided to redesign them. I then sent the new designs to the head of Gateway 2000 to see what they thought in early June 1997. I didn't get any response unfortunately so rather than leaving my designs sitting around my Hard Disc I'm now placing them on the Web. |
