Linux on Amiga 1200

I was able to successfully boot Debian GNU/Linux 8 on my Amiga 1200.

AROS on ThinkPad

I found a new use for my old ThinkPad X201s notebook: it now runs AROS using the Icaros distribution.

Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi Model 1 B+

My Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ arrived today. I will use it to run AROS using the AEROS distribution as well as various emulators, including Amiga ones, using the RetroPie Linux distribution.

The MIST Arrived

MIST FPGA Board

My MIST board arrived today.

USB Floppy Emulator

Amiga 1200 with GoTek USB Floppy Emulator

A couple of days ago I came across this website that explains how to reprogram the firmware of a GoTek USB floppy emulator for use with Amiga computers.

Today the unit I ordered from AmigaStore.eu arrived and I tried to install it. “Tried to” because while it works I cannot really use it: I cannot close the case of the Amiga 1200 with the floppy emulator installed.

I’ll keep the USB floppy emulator and temporarily install it when I really need it.
