`09.Dec.2020` Diverse (ANF)	Kickstarter campaign for Amiga inspired case in MiniITX format In 2018, Stephen Jones financed a case inspired by an A3000 by crowdfunding and revived his brand "Checkmate" for that which he used 30 years ago for an A500 desktop case. In late summer the "Checkmate Mini" was announced which is much smaller and is meant for motherboards with mini-ITX form factor. Using an adapter kit, the case can also host the FPGA emulators "UnAmiga" and "MIster" und since yesterday it is crowdfunded by Kickstarter. For about 180 Euro you get the standard case. There are also a "Deluxes" version available for 220 Euro which e.g. includes additional panels for disk and DVD drives as well as diverse combined offers. So far about 37.000 of 55.000 Euro has been financed. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 09. Dec. 2020, 21:59] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`03.Dec.2020` Indie Retro News (Webseite)	Crowdfunding: New, Amiga compatible joypad 'Protopad' Protovision - a group of develolpers and graphic artists for developeing games for the C64 - is going to pre-finance new joypads which will be developed explicitly for the C64. The pads have eight buttons, one button emulating 'up'. The pad is described as "also compatible with Atari and Amiga". But it is not clear how many of the seven buttons the Amiga can control. The crowdfunding campaign was started on the Protovision website and does not run on one of the well-known donation portals. The money you give always is described as donations but it is promised to pay back the money if until January 2025 no joypad will have been delivered. You can donate via Paypal or bank transfer. If you donate 50 Euro or more you will get a 'Protopad' as soosn as the production was started. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.

`01.Dec.2020` Amigaworld (Webseite)	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. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 01.
