Boot disk creator: Amiga911 Maker 1.59
With the Amiga911, under AmigaOS 3.0/3.1 special boot disks can be created, which can contain a lot of tools using LZX or XPK. This requires an Amiga equipped with at least 1 MB virtual memory, recommended are 2 MB.

Additional to an update of the programm, new boot disks and extras packs were provided. With version 1.59 it is possible to create an AmigaOS-3.9 emergency disk to install AmigaOS from an USB-stick, a CF-card or from an ISO-image. The long list of changes is available under the title link. (snx) (Translation: dr)

Crowdfunding: "Armiga" emulates A500 and reads Amiga-disks
On the crowdfunding website Indiegogo, the following project is advertised: A Raspberry Pi in a self-made case with a classic Amiga design is to emulate an Amiga. What makes this "Armiga" special: A little daughterboard controls the disk drive which is also included and makes for a compatibility with Amiga disks. The final product is supposed to include a licenced copy of Kickstart 1.3.

Apart from the mentioned daughterboard and the case, Armiga is based on existing hardware and software: A single board computer with Dualcore-ARM-CPU (the prototype is using a Raspberry Pi), Android and a version of UAE which is not explained in detail. The daughterboard can read complete disks - the disks are converted into a ADF-Image and saved to an provided SD-card. It is not possible to directly access from the emulated Amiga to the disks. Besides, this does not work with copy-protected disks.

The crowdfunding campaign started on March 21st and will be finished on May 20th. If the campaign will not succeed in collecting at least 140.000 US-Dollar, the donators will get back the money. If more money will be paid, there will be a lot of additional features which the developers will implement, e.g. emulating some other computer operating systems, providing HDF-support, emulating AGA-Amigas and writing ADF-images to disks.
