Self-made project: MP3 player for parallel port
The "Amiga MAS Player Pro2+" by Marcel Jähne is based on the MAS player developed by Dirk Conrad and is an MP3 player hardware for the parallel port of the Amiga. It plays any kind of MP3 files and MP3 radio streams without loading the processor. The MAS-Player is a small module that does the job of decoding music compressed in MPEG and providing the data as an analog signal. It has an audio output for connection to the stereo system, a DB25 connector for connection to the parallel port and a USB port for 5V power supply. This short video shows the function test on the Amiga 1000. (dr)

RastPort: Mechanical keyboard replacement for Amiga 1200
Grzegorz Kraszewski's RastPort designs and manufactures accesories and expansions for Amiga computers. His current project KA 59 is a mechanical keyboard replacement for the Amiga 1200. It is a complete replacement, no parts of the original keyboard are needed. KA59 has been tested with original A1200 cases and those from the a1200.net project. Details:
  • Complete replacement of original keyboard.
  • Kailh KH switches rated for 50 million cycles.
  • User adjustable CapsLock LED color.
  • Optional "Alt"↔"Cmd" key position swap for users accustomed to PC keyboards.
  • Weights less than original and takes less space.
  • Robust connection with the mainboard.
Furthermore, there are options to customize the keyboard to your own needs:
  • Keycap color set: There are two color sets available:
    • classic gray and white, black overprints
    • all keys black, white overprints

  • Switches: One of three different kinds of switches may be selected. Colors indicate mechanical characteristics of switches.
    • Blue switches are tactile, force versus movement characteristic is not linear. As a result, user feels the moment of switching. They are also clicky, thanks to additional element hitting the switch enclosure when pressed and making sound.
    • Brown switches are tactile (nonlinear) too, but have no clicking element, so are more silent.
    • Red switches are linear, moment of switching action has no tactile feedback. Noise level is a bit below brown ones.

  • Language layout: Customer can select one of 11 language layouts.
    • American
    • British
    • German
    • French
    • Italian
    • Spanish
    • Swiss
    • Danish
    • Swedish/Finnish
    • Norwegian
    • Icelandic
The keyboards are currently in production and will be available at various retailers. We will report. (dr)
