The goal of this project initiated by Niklas Ekström is to develop a cheap and easy to build SPI adapter that can be connected to the parallel port of an Amiga. In addition, the performance of the adapter should be as fast as possible (amiga-news.de reported).
Today version 2.2 of the SD card driver has been released which now also supports large SD cards (> 2GB).

RTG driver: P96 V3.3.3 released
Jens Schönfeld (individual Computers) has released version 3.3.3 of his RTG driver P96, which can be bought or downloaded from the order history at iComp. As developer Thomas Richter writes, the major feature of this release is that it offers the emulation of planar bitplanes, even if the graphics card does not support them or if a program requests more than the maximum 4 bitplanes VGA offers. That should help to promote even more legacy applications to the graphics card. To do this, "ENV:Picasso96/EmulatePlanar" must be set to "Yes" and restarted. A detailed description of the changes can be found in the English section of the iComp support forum.
