Lawsuit: Amiga loses against Inception Group
Back in June Inception Group Real Estate, the former landlord of Amiga Washington (that renamed itself back to Amino a while ago), sued the current incarnation of Amiga. For unknown reasons, said incarnation had committed itself in November 2008 to paying parts of Amino's debts to the landlord.
Four weeks after Inceptions initial motion, the legal clerk declared (PDF) that Amiga Inc. had not replied yet - something they still didn't do, as far as we can tell - and that they are "in default". In the meantime, the actual judgement (PDF) is available aswell: Inception Group is entitled to get the owed money (about 150,000 USD) aswell as an interest of about 7000 Dollar.
Only Inception's request to have Amiga ordered to pay their attorneys’ fees has not been granted yet: The plaintiff is directed to file appropriate documentation first. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Indivision AGA: Core-Update
Two weeks ago in the support section of Individual Computers an update of the Indivision-AGA-Core to version 1.5 was published. The archive also includes updated versions of the config-tool and of the flash-tool which both are now available in version 1.22.
Please do avoid to use old and new versions together. First flash your version and then start the config-tool to check if all works quite well after reseting the system. Only after the reset the new Core 1.5 is actually available.
The update can be applied to both versions of the Indivision AGA (1200 and 4000). Tghe CPLD-version is no consideration.
