FLAC, AirPrinting, Wafflecopy real floppy disks and more on A1222
It has certainly been fun re-acquainting myself with the AmigaOne A1222 and catching up on what I have missed in 2025.

It is to my great shame that I have only done one blog post about Amiga related things so far in 2025 and we are already half way through the year!
In my defence I have had a lot to deal with this year, and recently a backlog of other non-Amiga posts I wrote ages ago to get out too.
I have certainly done plenty of Classic Amiga related things throughout 2025 so far (when time permitted), so let's take a look at what I have been up to!
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!
I was hoping for 560KB RAM...? ;-)
Back in my uni days, I moved away from my family who lived in Alice Springs. I moved to Adelaide by myself in 1994 to study and get my IT degree.
I had an old second hand 386 PC my father organised for me to use. It was not the Amiga 2000 we had in Alice - which I wanted to keep.
With only money from a work experience job I did over the summer in Alice Springs before moving to Adelaide, money was very tight.
I missed my Amiga computer but there was no way to afford one, starting from over AUD$1200 at the time just for the A1200 system with no peripherals.
This year I have been catching up on some new release systems I didn't know about until recently!
Today I wanted to take a look at the Playdate, a very interesting portable handheld system from a company called Panic. It has a greyscale screen, and a unique crank that can be used to control the system.
