Other site changes
Sunday September 1st, 2002
Magazines:
Rescanned the first issue of Digital
magazine. My scanner was on its last legs when I originally
scanned the issues, so I will have to rescan them at a later date.
Christoph Gutjahr has submitted reviews of four German magazines
- Amiga Fever, Amiga Magazin, Amiga Future and Amiga Plus. Also updated the Magazine & scene mag lists
with several new entries. My thanks go to Pamir Talazan, Christoph
Gutjahr, Nico Barbat, Peter Gordon for the detailed information
provided for the magazine section. Added several new cover scans,
circa 1988 - 89, to the Amiga User International page. Made pretty logos for The
One Amiga and CU Amiga Magazine sections.
Finally updated the Amiga Format section
with a description of issues 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123 and 124.
Also added an image of Amiga Shopper issue 0 to the AF21
and Amiga Shopper pages.
Bundles:
The A600 Quavers promotion
and the Retro Systems A1000
have been added to the Bundles page. Scanned an advert for the Cerberus
x86 Amiga clone. The advert can be found on the Cerberus and Amiga
advertisements page.
Prototypes:
The Amiga 690 CD-ROM drive and
the Nokia Media Terminal
has been moved/added to the Prototype page. Also included Rodney Hester's article that proves the unofficial OS3.5
ROM is a hacked version of Kickstart 3.1. An Amiga-based pinball
machine has been discovered. The HoloPin was a prototype version of William's
Pinball 2000 series.
Next Generation:
As a result of the various announcements from Thendic France and
the progress of MorphOS, I've given the project its own page. Over
the coming months the amount of content available from this page
will increase. Take a look at the new bPlan page, featuring new information on the Eclipsis
MorphOS-based handheld.
At the AmiWest 2002 show, Bill McEwen announced Amiga Anywhere
for the o2 XDA. Added the
Sendo-Amiga press release to the relevant page and included set
3 of the OS4 development screenshots.

Wednesday June 26th, 2002
Hello and welcome to another AiG site update. Over 20MB has been
added since the last update in March. A great deal of this has involved
rewriting existing pages to add more information and better quality
images. Several new pages have also been created for products that
have been announced recently.
Amiga: The Next Generation
As usual I have updated several pages with the latest information
from Amiga Inc, Eyetech, and several other developers.
Classic Amiga developments:
Several new Amiga units have been documented:
- The Scala Workstation 500
and Scala Infochannel Player
were mid-1990s systems that were used for point-of-sale and multimedia
services.
- The Amiga Virtual Reality page has been retooled as a generic
Amiga in the Arcade page, hosting several
interesting Amiga arcade projects.
- Several Amiga-based arcade machines have been documented. Relive
the glory days at the arcade with the Riverboat Queen and the Up Scope machines. I also discovered more information on the
VR POD that indicates it was more
than an Amiga descendant, it was a 68040 Amiga itself.
- The Amiga bundles page has been given
an overhaul and the A500 'New
Art' edition has been added.
- The Draco page has been updated.
Other Important Items:
- The Amiga magazine list has been
updated with several new magazines.
- Due to the closure of Digital Magazine I have written brief
descriptions of the four issues that were available. These can
be found in the Amiga Active section.
- Many new items have been added to the Amiga Gallery
- More adverts have been uploaded,
including the latest Tao Group ads.
- An updated copy of the Amiga Related
Books FAQ has been uploaded.
- I have combined my list of Famous Amiga Uses with Pär Boberg's
list. The all-new Famous Amiga Uses v2.0 can be found here.
- Added several new photos and revamped existing images in the
Amiga photos section.
- Rewrote several sections of the Amiga
History.
- Several new Amiga press releases added to the historical archives
In addition there are many other changes. I've removed some of
the old FAQ's in the Techies Workbench section that were outdated
and messing up my dead link counter.
