First beta of PiMiga is out (Pi4)
So, for those of you who like to run Amiga on the raspberry Pi, apparently, the Pi4 was having some issues with Amibian/Amiberry on the new version.
Just today, one for Pi4 is now out in beta format. Here are some screenshots:
Restored images for Coffin OS WinUAE review
I did a 2 part mini-review of the Coffin r54 OS using WinUAE not long ago, but the ultraimg-hosted images weren’t showing up recently. I’ve switched to hosting them on wordpress so now you can see them again. I only did that because I still had the source images. Older posts are probably not going to be fixed unless I need to and can find them on web.archive.org or similar.

A replacement, transparent custom case for an Amiga 600
While I recently posted about a custom case cover for the A600, I saw this one today that replaces the wedge case. While I personally liked the Commodore wedge design, I think this one looked really good. Inside you can see the CFIDE adapter, KS 3.1 ROM and Furia 020 accelerator. Outside, it looks like wireless mouse and keyboard. Pretty nice!
Very Nice A600 custom case
I spotted this one on Facebook. Someone used a 3d Printer to make his own custom cover case for his A600, including a space for the PCMCIA card if one is there. I don’t think he’s offering to make them for others but I thought it was very nice and deserved to be spotlighted to show what Amiga lovers can and will do for their machines.
MorphOS – New browser based on updated WebKit in the works
Looks like a new’ish browser (probably using OWB framework) with a much more recent WebKit is coming. It’s detailed in this thread –> here<–
Probably still some weeks or so away from an alpha version and the author is admitting that webinspector and possibly YouTube media playback may not be supported. That makes me sad, as YouTube support is important to me in a modern browser.
The Amiga Bifrost project
This is one I’ve been watching for a few months now. It’s a small hardware project to control the LEDs with customized solors and patterns. Doesn’t seem like a major project but it appears to be really popular. Here’s a video:
MorphOS on iMac G5
I speculated not long ago that MorphOS may be silently supporting iMac G5 machines. If so, this would be great, as the 20″ version has one of the fastest G5’s ever made (2.1Ghz) and one of the best Radeon’s that is supported by MorphOS (X600).
Someone wrote up a guide on Morph.Zone recently. Sounds like the only real thing missing is the boot up logo page.

MorphOS 3.13 out!
Just a quick note, MorphOS 3.13 has rolled out.
It’s a lot of bug fixes for the 3.12 release a few months ago. I have yet to install it on my PowerMAC G4 but plan to soon.
Head over to the official website and download it today!
