Neues von Alinea Computer: Wodem, KickRom-Flash und KickRom-Progger
Press release: Alinea Computer presents three new products that were presented to the public for the first time at Amiga 38:

Wodem

With the Wodem, you can integrate any Amiga into your WiFi via the serial interface and have access to the Internet via a TCP/IP stack. With the appropriate turbo card or interface card, speeds of up to 115,200 bps are possible. The configuration is described in detail in the manual supplied. The Wodem can be purchased without accessories for 29.95 euros.


KickRom-Flash

The KickRom-Flash Adapter (version 1.4) is a programmable Flash-Rom replacement for EPROM components (e.g. 27c400) or Kickstart-Roms in the Amiga computer. Up to 4 Kickstarts (512 kb each) can be loaded onto a module and switched via jumpers or a switch. The switch with the name KickRom-Switch is unfortunately not yet available, but will be released in a few weeks.

In addition to the standard version of the Flash-Rom module, there is currently a special version for the Amiga 600, as mechanical problems can occur there with the standard modules. The programming and deletion of the components is done with the programming device KickRom-Progger. A KickRom flash can be bought for 29.95 Euros. In addition, a programming service is available for customers without a programming device.


KickRom-Progger

With the KickRom-Progger you can program/read Flash-Rom (27C400 emulators) devices up to 1.4 from Alinea Computer as well as commercially available 27C400 devices. The programmer can be operated directly on your Amiga via the serial interface. In addition to the serial interface, the programmer can also be controlled via USB on any computer. The programmer is operated via its own firmware, which is controlled from the computer via a terminal programme and can therefore run on almost any platform.

The device is the world's first programmer that can burn its own Kickstart roms directly on the Amiga. The KickRom Progger can be purchased without accessories for 44.95 euros. Options include a zero-force socket and a serial cable for BigBox Amigas.

AmiKit (ANF)


Workbench distribution: AmiKit for PiStorm released
In addition to the already existing versions for Raspberry Pi, Windows, Mac and Linux, the workbench distributions AmiKit are now also available for the PiStorm or PiStorm-lite (YouTube video). Ján Zahurančík writes about this:

"It all started 20 years ago... On my Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1240/40. The journey has continued on WinUAE, though. Today, it's come full circle, back to where it all started - The Amiga.

AmiKit, a pre-installed and pre-designed package with over 400 classic Amiga programs and games, is now highly optimized for PiStorm and works best on Amiga 1200 with PiStorm32-Lite with Raspberry Pi 4 (or CM4). Raspbery Pi 3 is also supported. Miminum configuration is Amiga 500/600/2000 with RPi3.

It requires your own AmigaOS 3.2 ADF files as well as the latest hotfix3.2.2.1, Picasso96 driver and Amiga internet connection. Full Roadshow is recommended. The installtion of the required software is automated." (dr)
