In order to preserve the digital heritage, the developers are currently compiling an overview of all versions of Fellow for DOS and WinFellow that have ever been released. In addition to the option to download all old versions, a historical retrospective is also being created for documentation purposes. As the developers do not have access to all versions, they are asking users for help. If you hold Fellow versions that are listed as missing, please contact the developers so that the collection can be completed and thus permanently preserved. (nba) [News message: 16.

Emu68, the Motorola68K emulation developed by Michal Schulz, is also part of the AmiKit package. Following the recent presentation of the alpha version of the Wi-Fi driver for Emu68k (amiga-news.de reported), there is now also a package with the Wi-Fi driver for AmiKit for PiStorm. Once the content of the package is copied to AmiKit: and the system restarted, a Network Wizard will appear. By selecting the WiFiPi, the Amiga will use the Wi-Fi module on Raspberry Pi itself to connect to the internet. The alpha version of the driver package can be downloaded from the AmiKit website under the title link. (nba) [News message: 15.

So far there is information on the CPU and FPU, the chipset, the vertical frame rate (PAL/NTSC), Kickstart version and revision, version and revision of bsdsocket.library as well as whether the emulator UAE is used - and if so, in which version. more ...

The driver consists of two parts - the firmware files for the WiFi module itself and the SANA-II device. In the archive attached to the linked Patreon post, these can be found in the Firmware and Networks folders. The firmware files must be copied to the DEVS:Firmware folder (or simply copy the folder to DEVS) and the wifipi.device must be copied to DEVS:Networks. Additionally, a tool is required that tells the driver which wireless network it should use. The tool is called WirelessManager and can be found, for example, in the prism2 driver from Neil Cafferkey. The manager must be copied to the C: directory. It is either started manually if required or called up in the user startup as follows: ;BEGIN WirelessManager C:RUN <>NIL: C:WirelessManager wifipi.device ;END WirelessManager Before the Amiga is restarted, the wireless.prefs file must be created. Use a text editor to write down the following lines and save them in ENVARC:SYS/: network={ ssid="Your Network name" key_mgmt=NONE scan_ssid=1 } The line "scan_ssid=1" is only important if the network has a hidden SSID. If not, this line can be omitted. Currently, the network is still unencrypted. As soon as Wireless Manager has established a connection, the network stack can be started. What works: open networks. Another function that is not yet correctly recognised by WirelessManager is 5GHz networks. These already work, but the WM reports the band and frequency incorrectly. At the moment, the driver only supports unencrypted networks. Work on supporting WPA/WPA2/WPA3 is in full swing. Currently, a mix of approx. 42 MBit download and 40 MBit upload is achieved. This can still be improved. The Wifi driver will be part of the next nightly build of the Emu68 tools. Update (17.04.2024, 19:40): In another Patreon post that has just been published, the developer points out once again that the driver currently only supports open networks and warns emphatically against opening networks without security precautions. In case of doubt, he recommends waiting until encrypted networks are also supported. Apparently, there had already been some initial misuse by third parties during a test phase.
