Sebastian Bergmann recollects his journey into the wonderful world of Amiga retrocomputing.

I found a new use for my old ThinkPad X201s notebook: it now runs AROS using the Icaros distribution.
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.
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.
One thing that nagged me was that the Individual Computers AGA MK2cr flickerfixer’s DVI plug just dangled out of a hole in the back of the Amiga 1200. Thanks to 3D printing, I was able to fix that problem today.
A couple of days ago I found a design for an Amiga 1200 DVI Backdoor Plate on the YouMagine 3D printing community. Using the 3D Hubs community I found somebody with a 3D printer about 10 kilometers away from where I live who would print the design for me. The plate arrived today and fits perfectly.
