AmiWest 2013 AmigaOS Team
AmiWest 2013 is now over and it was a heck of a lot of fun. We managed to grab a team photo this time.
Dates Announced for AmiWest 2014
As is customary at AmiWest, the dates for the coming year were announced at the conclusion of the show. October 23-24, 2014 will be the third AmiWest Programming Seminar, and October 24-26, 2014 will be the AmiWest show dates. AmiWest 2014 will be the 17th AmiWest show.
Our venue remains the same at the Holiday Inn Express, 2224 Auburn Blvd., Sacramento, CA. This venue was our partner in a great AmiWest 2013 and we have no doubt that they will also be our "get it done" partner in 2014 as well.

AmiWest 2013: Trevor Dickinson and Matthew Leaman Announce New Amiga Systems
Hi everyone,
This evening I have some good news from the AmiWest event in Sacramento, California.
Turns out that Trevor Dickinson of A-EON Technology and Matthew Leaman of Amigakit have announced a new range of Amiga systems. Nice!
Continuing mauve testing
Slowly but surely I'm working through the mauve suite. Currently, focus is on java.io.
Yesterday I got these fails:
Ended up destroying the v1 prototype, too many damn wires
This version is much better, much cleaner.
I also ordered some new wires that I hope will clean up the latch <—–>memory connections and amiga connector (CNX) to the protoboard.
Things are coming along……..
Preordered the FPGA Arcade Replay Board
Hi everyone,
For a long time I’ve been drooling over the news of the upcoming FPGA Arcade Replay board. A while ago I therefore decided to go all in and preorder one, so that I was sure to get one as soon as it went public. It costs a bit, but it is definitely worth it in my opinion.
Just Breezin!

never happen. And because of them, it happens every year. Here

The second AmiWest Programming Seminar begins tomorrow,
October
16, 2013 at 5 PM. Led by AmigaOS Developer Team Lead Steven
Solie, the seminar promises to advance the skills of Amiga
programmers.
Steve has an amazing grasp of Amiga programming, so much so
that
he has re-written the "C" language to make it more Amiga
efficient. Along with presenters Lyle Hazelwood and Paul
Sadlik,
we hope that the event will be productive and encouraging for
all participants.
