D520 video converter: another production run from Alinea Computer
Press release: The popular D520 external video converter is once again being produced by Alinea Computer. The electronics and firmware are the same as the previous version. However, a new aluminum housing has been chosen and the labeling has been adapted.
The D520 is plugged into the video port of the Amiga and converts the video and optionally the audio output - provided it's also been connected to the Amiga's audio connectors using a provided cable - to a HDMI signal.
In order to better estimate the size of the planned production run, the new D520 can already be pre-ordered at the e-mail address info@alinea-computer.de.
A detailed product description and pictures of the D520 can be found in our store.

News from former Amiga partner: QNX SDP 8 free for non-commercial use (update)
The Amiga and the QNX real-time operating system have crossed paths twice in their long history: Amiga-owner Gateway 2000 commissioned QNX at the end of 1998 to develop the AmigaOS 5.0 (AmigaSE 1.0) operating system based on the QNX system, before the collaboration was terminated in July 1999 due to strategic decisions in favor of Linux (amiga-news.de reported). At the end of 2001, Haage & Partner released the Amiga emulator package AmigaOS XL for x86 systems, which included not only Amithlon but also the AmigaXL emulator based on the QNX 6.1 host system emulator based on the host system QNX 6.1 (amiga-news.de reported).

The “Amiga Boing Blog” offers tests of numerous games from the PD/freeware area. In addition, the author also compiles game collections with freely distributable games or games licensed to him, which are already delivered with a fully prepared WinUAE - the user only has to add a Kickstart ROM.
