Emulator: WinUAE 0.8.21R1
As from now the Win32 Port of the Amiga Emulator 'UAE' won't be continued
by Brian King any more. Toni Wilen, who has worked on WinUAE for some time,
will be taking over.
Last night Toni Wilen released his first version, WinUAE 0.8.21R1.
The WinUAE homepage is available under http://www.winuae.net/
and it is hosted by back2roots.org.
Ralf Steines: "I think that Toni is full of energy and able to work very fast.
We're lucky that he takes over the work on Win32 Port. Something better
could not have happened (and I'm sure that also UAE will profit from this).
The new version is really excellent!
For the first time WinUAE supports CD32/CDTV emulation with matching,
extended kickstart ROMs, a scsi.device, streaming audio/video recording
and a lot more. I'm sure that there're also some bugs but fixing them
won't take long."

Test: Bridge adapter IDE for SCSI + 100 GB harddisc in Amiga
Author: Mirko Naumann
Only some time ago Amiga users complained that it's not worthwhile to install
modern E-IDE harddiscs in Amiga since the existing controllers are not able
to keep up with the capacity. Once I was of the same opinion and therefore
I installed expensive UW-SCSI and U160-SCSI harddiscs in both my Amigas.
Compared to my former IDE harddiscs this was clearly a step ahead but
unfortunately the capacity was really ridiculous considering how much I
had paid for discs.
Some time ago I read an article about IDE for SCSI bridge adapters and
I bought a couple of them instantly. It's the top model of 'ACARD Technology',
the AEC-7720UW (title link) which transforms UDMA 33/66/100 drives in
UW-SCSI models (40 MB/s). To make it worthwhile, I bought a 100 GB discdrive
for each of my Amigas from
Western Digital (Caviar WD1000BB).
