Commodore C=64 in a C=16 case mod

Commodore C=64 in a C=16 case mod

This is cool. I've thought about doing this myself. The C=16's case and colouring is so much nicer and more modern than the old C=64 breadbin IMO.

Amiga coding request - porting Berkeley SoftFloat

Amiga coding request - porting Berkeley SoftFloat

Are there any Amiga coders out there that are up to porting this library to the Amiga as a drop in replacement for the standard Amiga math trans libraries?

The purpose of this is to trap any FPU instructions on non FPU equipped Amiga's and run them via this library instead. This would include 68040 EC/LC and 68060 EC/LC powered systems.

I've done a quick search thinking that someone must have already done this, but didn't find anything, however if anyone else is aware of this already being done or wants to search further, please jump in.

The new Amiga's are here!

The new Amiga's are here!

Sort of...
The very long incubation of A-EON's modern Amiga project has finally ended and a unit has hit the hands of a reviewer.

It looks like an impressive piece of work. Just the right balance of classic Amiga and modern computer. And the Xenu co-processor is really intriuging. I really hope A-EON has some success with these systems and developers get hold of them. I'd really like to see what some talented folks can do with the Xenu.

Anyway, this is worth a read for any Amiga fan.

Good news on the TF530

Good news on the TF530

Steven is making great progress lately on the TF530. He's solved many of the firmware issues with the TF530 and has it running at full speed. He's working on the the SPI ports next. He's also announced that he's started work on the TF540, a 68040 accelerator with some cool features.

Amitools - a great collection of Amiga related tools for working from other platforms (eg Linux, MacOSX)

If you do any Amiga related hardware or software hacking and development, these look like a must have set of tools. I was playing with the romtool for quite a while tonight and it alone made the amitools install worth it.

Note to Linux users
Most current Linux distros will have Python 3.x installed. You'll need to have Python 2.7 installed as well (you can have both) for this to work. Also you'll need pip and Cython for 2.7 installed. Easy enough to do from your package manager and pip.
