Mounting ADF images: fuseadf 0.8
The command line program fuseadf, currently available in version 0.8, is, as its name suggests, a libfuse-based file system for mounting ADF images - both from floppy disks and hard disks; in the latter case, the respective partition can be specified. The directories and files contained therein can be browsed and read, and it is also possible to write to them.

Feature: Irving Gould - the controversial financier behind Commodore
In a new article, US journalist David L. Farquhar sheds light on the central but often misunderstood role of Irving Gould in the history of Commodore International. Gould, who joined the company as an investor in the 1960s, was its majority shareholder for decades and ensured its survival on several occasions. At the same time, he was considered a controversial figure whose decisions contributed significantly to Commodore's later decline.

Pong variant: Press Fire PONG for Amiga 500
As developer Alberto '(4)Seasons' Sgaggero writes, "Press Fire PONG" (video) for the Amiga 500 is not just another Pong clone, but a "reimagined arcade experience with unique gameplay mechanics and dynamic visual effects".
Unlike traditional Pong, in this version the paddle is moved upwards by holding down the fire button and downwards by releasing it. This is intended to make the game more exciting. In addition, the screen does not remain static, but moves. In addition, the ball reverses its trajectory when it bounces off grey edges and disappears, only to reappear on the opposite side when it bounces off dark grey edges.
It is possible to compete against the Amiga or against a friend. A solo endurance mode is also available. The game is written in AMOS.

vAmigaWeb: Information for Safari users
The Amiga emulator for web browsers vAmigaWeb is currently not working with Apple's Safari browser: Its version 26.0 interrupts the faster and more efficient native WASM exceptions used for emulation, which is why a slower Javascript exception implementation has been used for the time being.
Those affected must therefore open a private Safari tab and add the app to the dock or (on iPadOS) to the home screen again. The developers assume that once Apple has fixed the bug in Safari, the previously faulty vAmigaWeb apps will work again and access to stored snapshot and workspace data will be possible once more.

Apollo-Team: Sale of additional A6000 announced
Press release: Hello Apollo Vampires, thank you all for your patience. As promised we have finally some news about the roadmap for the Apollo A6000:
The introduction of the A6000 with the 40 "First Edition" units was a great success and very quickly sold out. Currently we are very focussed on delivering these first 40 units in high quality state to the early birds on Amiga40 event (pick-up or shipment).
Meanwhile we have been looking into our production possibilities for a second batch and I am glad to announce that we will be able to offer another batch of 40 units for on-line sale and 20 units to be sold "live" on Amiga40 event.
The on-line sales order process (a6000.net) for the 40 "Second Edition" units will start on the Monday 13th October 10:00 Central European Time (CET). All ordered units will be delivered by international shipping before 30th November 2025.
The pricing and configuration options will be the same as the first edition units, except that we have added a 5th color scheme to choose from: Commodore "cream-white with black bars".
For Apollo fans visiting the Amiga40 Event there will be 20 units available for direct sale (first come, first serve) at the Apollo stand.

DIY: Connecting USB keyboards with STALKER
The STALKER adapter card by Gianluca Renzi enables USB-HID keyboards to be connected to the Amiga 1000, Amiga 2000/3000, Amiga 4000/CD32, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200 and Amiga 600 and is based on a 32-bit STM32 microcontroller.
The STALKER offers a built-in USB stack that enables support for USB HID keyboards without the need to install additional AmigaOS software drivers. The entire installation process boils down to connecting a STALKER adapter and plug to the keyboard port of the Amiga 1000, 2000 or 4000 externally, or internally in any other Amiga computer.
Another feature of the adapter is its "bootloader" function, which enables future firmware upgrades. The STALKER comes with special firmware, but any firmware version can be installed without any problems, as it is an open source project. Features:
- supports for both USB HID, wireless adapters and USB-PS/2 keyboards,
- Amiga 1000, 2000/3000, Amiga 4000/CD32, Amiga 1200, Amiga 600 and Amiga 500 compatibility,
- built-in USB stack with HID Keyboard firmware driver
- "Bootloader" function allowing future firmware upgrades,
- "Status" indicator LED providing information about device's state,
- built around 32-bit STM32 microcontroller utilizing latest technology,
- non-blocking keyboard.
Hardware documentation for DIY construction is available for the internal versions of the A1200, A500 and A600, as well as for the external stand-alone version.
Two days ago, version 1.5 of the USB keyboard driver and version 0.3 of the bootloader were released.
