Do it yourself: Amiga 2000 5.25" front panel for PiStorm 2K
Klaus Kupferschmid's GitHub project at the title link is about a 5.25" front panel for the Amiga 2000 with openings for USB ports, switches and a MicroSD slot for usage of a PiStorm 2K together with the, originally external, keyboard switch A234. (snx)

History of technology: The Rise and Fall of 3M's Floppy Disc
IEEE, an online magazine specialising in technology topics, has published a background report on the storage medium floppy disk and the company 3M that is well worth reading.

Floppy discs had an amazingly long life - it was only in January 2024 that the Japanese government announced that it would no longer require floppy disc copies of government applications. 3M got out of the data storage business some 28 years ago when it transferred its floppy disc production to an outsourced company called Imation. Imation still exists, under the name Glassbridge Enterprises, but with a much lower profile.

You can read the entire article in English under the title link. (nba)

AmigaOS 4.1: Graphics card driver RadeonHD V5.20 for Sam460
The RadeonHD driver software is a graphics driver for RadeonHD graphics cards for AmigaOS 4.1 (amiga-news.de reported). Version 5 only supports "Southern Islands" cards (HD7000 series), but offers hardware-accelerated video decoding (Enhancer Software 2.2 required). The new version 5.20 has now been released for the Sam460. The changes:
  • Fixed a potential crash in the find card code when the card is already in use
  • Fixed an infinite loop in code to get PCIe speed capabilities, which would trigger if the parent PCIe device isn't the root controller
  • Disabled GART for the Sam460 again (was accidentally enabled)
  • The usleep() threshold for using the timer device was broken a while ago. FIXED
  • Rewrote usleep() so it no longer needs to open/close the timer device every time there's a longer delay (lowers overhead)
  • Now skips attempting to initialize the card altogether if the card is already in use
  • Fixed a potential crash if initializing the driver failed
  • Enabled the UVD interrupt (trap handler)
  • Fixed interrupt handling for the Sam460. Caching on PCIe reads from VRAM was causing the interrupt handler to read stale data, resulting in missed interrupts which, in turn, causes a complete freeze. Added fallback and workaround code

Casual puzzle game: Kondi Krush
"Kondi Krush" is a clone of the smartphone classic Candy Crush: On a playing field filled with sweets, the aim is to place at least three identical elements in a row and making them disappear from the playing field by swapping two pieces of sweet in each turn.


Kondi Krush versions are offered for a host of retro platforms: In addition to the Amiga port (Video), there are also conversions for Commodore 64, Commodore 16/Plus 4 and the Hungarian Videoton TC Computer.
