So I finished cabling up the solderless breadboard, and after checking connections, and checking pwr and gnd, I plugged it into the amiga. The amiga boots, which is a good sign, but then it never recognizes the memory. I’m not … Continue reading
It has been a long time coming but we finally got around to releasing an updated Software Development Kit (SDK) for the Amiga Operating System.
On October 16, 2013, AmigaOS Developer Team Lead Steven Solie and his crew will start the second AmiWest Programming Conference at 5 PM. Dinner will be served. The venue is the Holiday Inn Express Cal Expo, 2224 Auburn Blvd., Scramento, CA, 95821.
There is still time to sign up at amiwest.net/aosps. The cost is $50.00 per person and includes dinner on Wednesday and lunches on Thursday and Friday. All those who signed up before today have already been invoiced for their conference fee.
We hope to see you there!

Our caterer has agreed to a short extension for the AmiWest 2013 banquet deadline. We are able to accept continuing reservations for banquet tickets until further notice
PLEASE NOTE THAT, AS ALWAYS, NO BANQUET TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR! This is a catered event and each meal is reserved in advance. We don't want to turn anyone away, so please reserve your tickets now.
We are expecting a large number of attendees this year due to selling out the hotel. Don't be left out of the banquet! RESERVE NOW!
Now I remember why I like FPGAs so much, no freakin’ wiring!@!#
Here’s a start to what the monster looks like. I think I’ll like the PCB form factor a little better. 
I thought a little bit about how I lay this out, but I didn’t come to any great solution. Almost seems like the traveling salesman problem!

I am totally lacking any type of magnification…..I’m gonna place a few orders and get some stuff in here for the future. I’ve been looking for a good high quality 10x loupe and a lighted magnifier for a long time. Most of what I see out there is total crap.
Everything has arrived! I think the first order of business is soldering this darn memory chip…. Not sure how hard this is going to be, but I’m going to give it a shot!@#
