So, back in the day, if you wanted to read or write Amiga floppy disks, you needed a dedicated Amiga floppy drive. The first workaround was to get a catweasel card from Individual Computers, which would allow a PC standard floppy drive to read and write Amiga floppies.
Just stumbled across this video on YouTube of an Amithlon user running the MUIMapparium program on his machine.
I’ve been meaning to look into this program for a while now. Nice to see it working on Amithlon (one of my favorite flavors of Amiga).
It was just a week ago that I posted about QEMU patches being worked on to let the Sam460ex motherboard to be emulated. I was excited because this means that
Someone on the Amikit X forums has written a forum thread on how to make the AmiKit X system function as a front-end for Windows, running windows programs through rabbithole as well as making the Windows apps have an amiga-look.
Doing this effectively can make your machine look like a very high-end, modern Amiga OS with all the latest app needs being filled in with Windows apps when needed.
Very cool!

TerribleFire, known for open-source Amiga accelerator designs on YouTube, has added the CD32 as one of the devices he is now making cards for.
This one appears to be a RAM and IDE controller card. As his A500 accelerators have evolved over time, I would expect this one to as well.
Check it out here:
So, I’ve never had an A1000, although I hope to one day. However, unless you are using an ACA500 or another hardware mod, you’ll find booting an a1000 is a two-step process: a Kickstart floppy and a workbench floppy.
Someone recently rediscovered a software application that creates a single-disk for booting and is still commerically available. Read about his discovery –> here <–
Okay, so this is interesting. The creator of Amibian, the Raspberry Pi emulation environment for the small SBC ARM-based computers, has made a javascript emulation of the Amiga called Amibian.js. I wrote something about this earlier, but you can run this ‘cloud desktop’ by clicking –> here <–
MorphOS is one of my favorite NG Amiga derivatives but currently, it requires either expensive, hard to find PowerPC hardware or old Mac PowerPC hardware. I’ve personally wished we could run it under emulation like we can now with Classic Amiga and OS4.1FE.
Well, that may soon be possible. The widely used QEMU emulation software (part of which is powering the PowerPC cpu portion of WinUAE and FS-UAE), may soon enable MorphOS under emulation.
Okay, about 4 years ago (or so), I wrote up a quick guide for using Dropbox transparently from within Windows emulation, so that it looks like a native app on the Amiga side. It was a very simple guide with linked screenshots.
As I’m planning to get Amikit X soon, I’ll be following my own guide soon to get desktop access to syncing with dropbox on the windows system.
