Adding a HDMI port using a Raspberry Pi: Amiga-Digital-Video
The goal of the Github project Amiga-Digital-Video is to add a HDMI port to an Amiga 500, 1000 or 2000 or to a CDTV. A small adapter board is put under the Denise chip. With the help of a ribbon cable, the Raspberry Pi can extract the RGB signals of the Amigas and convert them into a digital video signal using the RGBtoHDMI software.
The software runs directly on the Pi - without requiring an operating system. According to the developer the "HDMI picture has a very low latency (a few milliseconds at most)". Therefore this solution can be also used for games. By watching some videos (1, 2) you can get an idea of the qualitiy.

Commodore's DSP software running on a prototype of an A3000+
After Commodore's software support for the AA3000/A3000+, which was never placed on market, showed up, fans tried to make it running on a replica of the AA3000. Obviously they succeeded now: the DSP response to commands of the controlling software.
Hint of the editors: Fotos of the linked thread only are available to registered users.

Amigakit: RAM-/Flash-ROM expansion for A1200
A new expansion for the A1200 developed by AmigaKit does not only provide 8 MB Fast-RAM (configurable via jumper or "Early Boot Menu" as 4, 5.5 or 8 MB) but additional to FPU socket and clockport also 4 MB FlashRAM which is writeable using the included configuration tool. How the memory is mounted while booting the computer, the website of AmigaKit does not exactly explain: On one hand they are taking about " Kickstart modules or even full Kickstart images" but on the other hand also about software "instantly available on power on". Additionally the card also emulates the non-volatile Flash memory of the CD32, in which games can save e.g. highscores and scores.
