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!
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.
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.
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:
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.

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!
I found this recently on Facebook: An adapter that lets a PC read and write to Amiga Floppy disks. This could come in handy!
From the posting:
AROS is great, and Icaros Desktop has been probably the most well-known distribution out there. Their 32bit, single core version is very useful. Now, they’ve released a very early 64 bit version.
There are heavy warnings that this isn’t anything other than a work-in-progress, proof-of-concept version that won’t replace the existing 32bit version for a while. it does give us something to play with though.
It does support SMP (more than one core). It also identified the CPU (under VirtualBox).
With AROS’s x86 (and also x64 multi-processor version), porting cpu-heavy apps or creating new ones may be more doable than other variants (no knock against 68060/vampire or PowerPC users, but even those are still not nearly as powerful as the Intel/AMD machines that AROS can run on).
But how to start developing? Well, the distributor for IcarosDesktop (paolone), has put together a virtual machine image of an Ubuntu distro with the AROS development system already set up.
Yet another great release of MorphOS is out and other places are mentioning it. However, it seems that a little-mentioned blurb in the release notes hint that the iMac G5 (20 and 17 inch models, with G5’s) may be supported even though they aren’t listed in the supported hardware section.
The 17″ and 20″ iSight iMac G5 models have the internal model number (in Apple terms) of PowerMac12,1 (for both).
