Do it yourself: CompactFlash adapter AmigaCF for Amiga 600 and 1200
The CompactFlash adapter AmigaCF for the Amiga 600 and 1200 is connected to the internal IDE port not by cable like other variants, but is plugged directly into it instead. In addition, noises are made during access, as a substitute for those made when accessing a real 2.5" hard disk inside the computer.
The AmigaCF is intended for use directly on the mainboard - as it is unbuffered, it is not suitable for use on the IDE port of some turbo boards, i.e. those which require a buffered adapter instead.

Financing of a Warp3D driver for the PiStorm32 (PI4/CM4) on IndieGoGo
Steffen Haeuser writes at A1K.org (translated): "Warp3D for PiStorm! Until now, 3D games on Amiga computers with PiStorm were limited to software-only rendering solutions, even though a Pi4/CM4 has a powerful 3D chip (Videocore VI). The aim of this project is to change this. Developer Dennis Boon has offered to create a Warp3D.library for PiStorm systems with Pi4 and Pi CM4 for a fee.
With 3D hardware acceleration, you get higher resolutions, faster FPS and more impressive visuals for 3D gaming on PiStorm-equipped Amiga systems. Additionally, it enables porting of games that require 3D hardware acceleration or games that would be too slow in software-only rendering on a PiStorm Amiga."

Spillhistorie: Interview with Michael Haire (Microprose)
Hans Arne Jacobsen and Joachim Froholt have conducted another interview for the Norwegian website Spillhistorie - this time with Michael Haire, the former head of Microprose's graphics department.
Michael Haire worked on classics such as Sid Meier's Pirates! and Civilization. He entered the games industry in 1981 when he created cover art for a series of games for the TRS-80 8-bit computer. He quickly began to create game graphics and worked for the legendary game publisher and developer MicroProse from the mid-1980s.

Video: Data recovery from an Amiga 1000 (German)
In the video at the title link, the home computer and games console museum Yesterchips in Lützelbach (Hessen, Germany) deals with data recovery from the hard disk of an Amiga 1000. As this is not a SCSI or IDE hard disk, but one of the MFM hard disks used previously, the task was somewhat more complex.

Amiga emulator: Amiberry-Lite 5.8.1
As announced, Amiberry 7.0 has now been followed by the release of the slimmed-down version 5.8 of Amiberry-Lite. This version, which is still based on WinUAE 4.4, has now also received selected cherry-picked features from its big brother, insofar as they are still useful on less powerful systems up to and including the Raspberry Pi 4.
