Do it yourself: Adapter board A314 for an internal Raspberry Pi, version 1.2.3
The A314 is an FPGA-based adapter board by Niklas Ekström, with the help of which a Raspberry Pi can be connected to the expansion slot of the Amiga 500 (amiga-news.de reported), which also makes it possible to use its network connection, among other things.
The now released version 1.2.3 contains a workaround for a bug in the compiler vbcc, which caused the a314-cp.device not to work properly on a 68000 processor.

Copies of really old (Amiga) websites: archive95.net
archive95.net wants to make websites accessible again that are too old even for the Web Archive - the latter only started archiving public sites in 1996. For this purpose, commercial CDs from the years before 1996 are used, on which copies of existing websites were distributed in order to present them to offline customers. Since the "Amiga Plus Extra No. 5/97" is one of the CDs plundered so far, a search for "Amiga" also brings up various interesting hits: fan pages for the A/Box, press releases from Gateway or the old support pages from Newtek.
