A1200: Triple LED Adapter on Amigakit
On Amigakit a A1200 Triple LED adapter is available which can be used as replacement for the original component in the Amiga 1200. While purchasing it you can choose a colour for each of the three LEDs as well as for the replacement LED (red, green, yellow). According to AmigaKit "the three LED units are easily removable/interchangable without any soldering".

Web browser: Netsurf 3.8 (Reaction)
The web browser Netsurf - and also Chris Young's Reaction-based Amiga port - is available in version 3.8. The (cross-platform) changes "feature some page layout improvements, stability and security improvements, and some minor additional features". The port for AmigaOS 4 is available on the official download site. Test builds for AmigaOS 3 are offered separately - but here the support for SSL/TLS is broken. Young asks for your help to fix it.
On request of amiga-news.de Artur Jarosik, who is developing the SDL version for AmigaOS3 (amiga-news.de reported), said that he also is going to release a new version soon.

Free hardware: Replica of daughter board of A4000
Recently two projects were dealing with the replica of the mainboard of the Amiga 4000. Now documents are available on Github which provide all information for the self-construction of the daughter board carrying the Zorro slots.
The board layout was "made from ground using the A4000 original schematics". Compared to the original the replica has not any ISA slots but a VGA connector "to use with a VGA metal bracket".

Find: When Commodore was still advertising in Playboy...
In an old issue of the "Playboy" from August 1982, Carsten Siegner has found an advertising by Commodore for the VC-20. Obviously it is also quite reasonably placed in an article about an arcade game.

Print magazine: Amiga Future Archive 4 (20 years edeition)
Press release: The Amiga Future Archive 4 (20 year edition) DVD has now been released. Originally launched at Gamescom in Cologne. The Amiga Future reached 20 years old this year. Reason enough to publish our new Amiga Future Archive DVD.
On this DVD you will discover the following issues to enjoy reading as PDFs:
- German: Amiga Future Issues 11 - 130
- English: Amiga Future Issues 67 - 130
Issues 11 to 26 were digitally scanned. All other editions are very high quality PDFs. Issue 11, way back in 1998, was the first German Amiga Future issue ever released. Issue 67, July/August 2007 was the first English edition of the Amiga Future magazine. So, our complete 20 years German Amiga Future story is available on this single DVD.
It is not possible to update a previous version of the Amiga Future Archive DVD, due to the media used, which we trust you will fully understand.

Case: Crowdfunding of Checkmate A1500 Plus announced
The Checkmate A1500 is a case for the Amiga 500 which transforms it into a desktop computer similar to the Amiga 2000 (amiga-news.de reported; a video about the historical backgrounds have been released two months ago). Stephen Jones has announced the crowdfunding of an updated edition of his product - on Tuesday 9 pm there will be a "launch party via live stream.
Besides the board of the Amiga 500/500+, the Checkmate-1500-Plus case will be also able to take an Amiga 600 or 1200 - or A-EON Technology's announced AmigaOne A1222 (Tabor), a Raspberry Pi or any other mainboard of the mini or micro-ATX format. Just like the original edition, a Riser card will provide a Zorro-II extension.
