Press-Release:

Sukko Pera, designer of the "OpenFlops" Gotek-style floppy disk drive emulator, has recently allowed manufacturing partner Simulant Systems Ltd in the UK to produce his product.

Simulant Systems has made the USB emulator drives available on their website for £19.99 plus postage. Fully Amiga compatible, the OpenFlops drive uses FlashFloppy firmware and has a number of extra features to the standard Gotek - including built in hardware support for emulating two floppy drives from one usb stick (a firmware update to support for this feature is to follow). Openflops can be ordered including a case, speaker, rotary dial or with other configurations. [...]

Matt Harlum from Sweden provides Gerber files in his GitHub repository which can be used to manufacture a circuit board that functions as an Agnus adapter in an Amiga 500 or Amiga 2000 and is equipped with DRAM. Thus it expands the said Amiga models to 2 MB chip RAM. Anyone who dares to do this work can now get down to work.

The topic of power supplies for the Amiga is more topical than ever. Thanks to many smart Amiga users, we have received numerous new hardware for the Amiga over the years, but they all want to be supplied with sufficient power. The ravages of time also gnaw on the electronic components, also in the Amiga power supply. Several solutions exist in numerous variations and now there is another one, a very elegant solution: the A500 or A1200 single power module.

This is an open source project (Open Hardware) by Tobias Seiler, which offers a small circuit board for the Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200 which can be soldered onto the mainboard after the socket for the old power supply has been removed. Equipped with the appropriate components, the board acts as a DC/DC converter, which allows the user to supply his Amiga with power using a 12V power supply with a barrel connector. The voltage of 5V can supplied with up to 6A and a voltage of -12V can be supplied with up to 500mA, +12V is simply passed through. The finished board also offers a toggle switch, which, together with the new socket, fits into the case hole of the previously unsoldered 5-pin DIN square socket.

The variant for the Amiga 500 has been successfully tested by the author, but it should be noted that the Amiga 1200 variant has not yet been finally tested. [...]

Slightly delayed by only two years, the free Roadshow TCP/IP stack 1.14 update is now available to all customers.

This update fixes a number of long standing bugs, improves performance and accuracy in the TCP/IP stack itself, as well as adding new features to the shell commands which ship with it.

New features include support for the remote shell command (rsh) and Roadshow's new built-in remote shell server: you can now build networks of Amigas and small computer systems, allowing Amiga programs to be started over the network, allow the Amiga to start programs on other computers and exchange data through this channel.

The password manager PassPocket was released in version 1.01 for AmigaOS 3 and AmigaOS 4.

PassPocket is a password manager for the Amiga. It stores all your different user names, passwords, and associated website addresses in a single database, encrypted with a single master password.

Now you only need to remember that one password, so you can make all the other passwords as long and unmnemonic as the security experts recommend, have as many of them as you need for all those websites where you have to register but rarely visit, and change them as often as advised, without the hassle of trying to keep track of them all.
