`25.May.2016`	Unfinished R-Type clone: Thesius XII In Autumn 2003 the team of Underware Design released the R-Type clone "Thesius XII" which they did not finish.

`24.May.2016`	Tutorial: Raspberry Pi as PPP-server for the Amiga (Update 2) An blog entry explains how you can use a Raspberry Pi with a cheap TTL-to-RS232-converter as a PPP server for an Amiga. The Amiga is connected to the single board computer using a regular RS 232 serial cable und is using a TCP stack - the tourial is using Miami as an example - to connect to the network. Update: (25.05.2016, 15:20, cg) The blog is hosted on the author's Raspbery Pi, which apparently can't handle the current amount of visitors very well. The website keeps disappearing for short periods of time. Update: (26.05.2016, 22:15, cg) A different Blog describes pretty much the same setup, apart from using the free AmiTCP 4.0 available from Aminet as a TCP stack on the Amiga.
