Do it yourself: Clock port/Raspberry Pi interface
After the adapter board "A314" (amiga-news.de reported) Niklas Ekström now provides information under the title link for the reproduction of an interface with which communication between Amiga and Raspberry Pi is possible via the clock port.
After appropriate software adjustments, the developer hopes to be able to run services such as the file system a314fs, which enables access to directories of the Raspberry Pi, and the SANA II network driver via it.

Music editor: MusicMaker V8 Version 3.16
As Thomas Winischhofer told us at the end of October last year, the development of his 'MusicMaker V8' was actually finished. Apparently, however, he always finds the time and inclination to fix minor bugs and to continue to maintain his sample-based music editor, which he started as a hobby project in 1986, so that since version 3.12, the fourth update to version 3.16 has now been released. Changes since our last report:

Magnifier tool: Lupe 2.0 for AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS
Matthias "UltraGelb" Böcker wrote: "'Lupe' continously magnifies an area of the screen and displays it in a window. The window can be resized and the scalefactor can be dynamically changed. Per default Lupe follows the mouse pointer and magnifies the area sourrounding the pointer, but it is also possible to have it magnify a freely setable fixed area. It can show colour values of the current pixel under the mouse pointer and also its coordinates. Additionally a grid can be enabled. Furthermore it can save the current window contents as IFF or PNG image."

Video review: WinUAE & FloppyBridge
Robert Smith's project "DrawBridge" (Disk Reader and Writer Bridge) uses like the similar ADF Drive a microcontroller - in this case an Arduino board - to read and write Amiga floppies with a connected standard PC floppy drive. By means of the plugin FloppyBridge, WinUAE is also officially supported since version 4.9.0 (amiga-news.de reported).
In a short video review, the developer looks back at the history of this project and gives an outlook on his current project.
