History: Commodore's hardware plans
The Commodore International Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the history of Commodore International. Recently, they published photos provided by Robert Miranda on their Twitter channel, which once again show the planned further development of the hardware:


According to these documents, an updated version of the Amiga 1200 was to be shipped with a 68030 processor in 1994, while the Amiga 4000 was to be replaced by a machine equipped with a PA-RISC microprocessor architecture from Hewlett-Packard. The joint venture project with HP, planned under the name Hombre, was apparently planned in two versions: As a "single chip" with 57 MHz and 32 bit and with 2 chips and 3D support with 135 MHZ and 64 bit.

YouTube playlist: 300 Amiga demos
'rtiainen' has published a playlist on his YouTube channel that contains Amiga demo scene productions especially from groups that were not so famous or well known in the community. Most of these demos were released between 1988 and 1992, but there are also some earlier and also later releases included. Most of these demos use a standard Amiga 500 with ECS chipset, but some later ones were recorded with an Amiga 1200 and AGA chipset. (dr)

Event: Retrocomputer-Treff Niedersachsen (Germany)
The next Retro-Computer-Treff Niedersachsen (RCT#26) will take place on Saturday, 02.04.2022, from 10 to 7 o'clock at Haus Kassel (next to the Wandelhalle), Hauptstraße 4, in 31542 Bad Nenndorf.

The Retro-Treff is a workshop for all friends of old computers. Welcome are Amiga, Atari, C64, Apple, NeoGeo, Schneider CPC, Sinclair, Acorn and other old systems. The meeting is organised by Hannöverscher Classic-Computing-Stammtisch. For the time being, tables (120×70 cm) for 16 participants are available for the computers, with this number a sufficient distance between the participants can be realised. Which Covid-19 conditions will apply to the meeting is not yet finally known. The next opening step is planned for 20.03.2022, then there will probably be no more restrictions.
