The Games We Never Talk About: Wendetta 2175
Wendetta 2175 always comes up as a wildcard when I show my game collection to Amiga friends and it somewhat still baffles me that so few people actually managed to secure themselves a copy of the game. No, this ain’t one of those rare unknown games that are crap and never should have seen a […]
AMIGA Patreons who I support :)
It's really nice to give a little back to all the people who I appreciate in the Amiga Community. I have a small patreon site and a few very generous people are helping my may Amiga dream come true.
Expansion Systems DataFlyer Plus 2.1
Way back in about 1992, I finally had enough money (ok, well, enough credit) to finally expand my Commodore Amiga 500 to how I wanted it. I previously had an A501 memory expansion module and an external floppy drive that my parents had bought me for Christmas the year or two before. A major upgrade was a Microbotics VXL*30 accelerator card which included a 68030 at 25mhz, and whopping 2MB RAM which was just amazing for the time. I may make a post in the future about the specifics of that card.
Add a Raspberry PI to your A500 expansion slot
This is old news now, and I didn’t blog about it back when I first heard about it, but I thought it was long overdue to have a way to add a Raspberry PI to an Amiga to take advantage of cheap, but powerful hardware.
Enter the A314:
There’s a long thread on EAB about it that is good reading.

While digging deep on a German forum that was discussing the Amiga OS 3.1.4.x release, there was a thread called “OS 3.2 Preview”. Attached was this image (Click to see a larger version):
People that look closely can see some hints of what is to come (not easy but there were several small things added that people found).
New Graphics card for Zorro II/III Amiga
A few years ago, I posted about a newly designed zorro graphics card called the VA2000.
Well, it looks like a new card is in the works, this time with a dual core ARM-7 processor, which is supposedly for decoding video and audio. Check out the website here
Exploring Coffin OS (Vampire) with WinUAE – pt 1
I’ve been interested in the custom Amiga OS bundle/distro for Vampire users called Coffin OS for a while now. There haven’t been many reviews of it for non-vampire users and I thought I’d give it a go using WinUAE. This will be the first of a 2 part review, with initial setup and initial configuration. Part 2 will be more about the bundled software.
My Amiga 3000 build Part 1
Recently I finally managed to secure my own Amiga 3000! I really wanted to get one of these for a long time now.
Memory Expansions on Amiga 500 and 600
This weekend I took a look at the Amiga 500 and Amiga 600 memory expansion cards and A1200 real time clock port expansion module, all kindly supplied to me for review by AmigaKit.
GoADF on AmigaOS 3.1.4 and AmiKitReal 9
Today I am taking a look at the recently released ADF handling software for Classic Amiga called GoADF from BitPlan, on my Amiga 500 running AmigaOS 3.1.4.1 and also on my Amiga 4000T running AmiKit Real 9 (OS3.9 base).
