Do it yourself: GotekExtensionBoard
The GotekExtensionBoard, consisting of an external and an internal side, is intended for the non-destructive installation of a Gotek disk drive emulator in an Amiga 500 - the middle part of the conductor foil can be led through the ventilation slots of the Amiga housing, so that the display and switches etc. can then be connected on the outside.

AROS: New build of Workbench replacement Scalos
In mid-2011, Matthias 'Mazze' Rustler began porting the workbench replacement Scalos for AROS and completed this in early 2012. Since then, Scalos has been part of the AROS distributions AROS Vision and Icaros Desktop, among others.
In mid-July, Krzysztof 'Deadwood' Śmiechowicz opened a discussion on Aros-Exec with the aim of improving the workbench replacement and ridding it of bugs after unifying the code base of Scalos for AROS x86 ABIv0, AROS x86_64 ABIv11 and AROS m68k. Only for AxRuntime there should be a separate development branch.

Kickstarter campaign: Production of 'Tank Mouse' starts soon
The Polish designer Lukas Remis had successfully finished a Kickstarter campaign for the re-release of the wireless Commodore Maus 1352 ((amiga-news.de reported)).
A few days ago the developer announced in a status update that the production of the Tank Mouse as well as of the chipset of the mouse will start soon.
The preparation would take about 45 days, and another 25 days the production of the first test batch. After testing and quality-checking the first units, the production will be started - and that part should take only around 3 weeks.
But there are some problems regarding the DB9 adapter: due to COVID and supply shortages, prices of some components went up twice or even more. Therefore, it cannot be manufactured the way it was originally planned and other solutions must be found.

8-/16-bit emulator for Mac OS and Linux: Clock Signal V2022-07-23 (update)
Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now.

Floppy disk images on PC and Mac: Greaseweazle Tools 1.1 / Firmware 1.2
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported). The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac.
Changes of Greaseweazle Tools 1.1:
- New IMG formats: pc98.dd, pc98.hd
- IBM FM, MFM: Fix bugs in raw track decoder
- gw info: Report MCU information (type, speed, SRAM)
Changes of Greaseweazle Firmware 1.2:
- Support AT32F403A MCU on F1 and V4 boards
- Send MCU info to host (reported by gw info)
The Greaseweazle is available from various retailers.

Scorpion Engine: Pre-versions of 'Spy Hunter', 'Wonder Boy' and 'GothicVania'
Spy Hunter is an arcade classic from Midway that is currently being converted for the Amiga with the help of the Scorpion Engine (video). The pre-release version currently available for download does not yet contain any sound effects or background music.
Ryuichi Nishizawa's 'Wonder Boy' (video) is also an arcade machine conversion: it is inspired by the first part of the Wonder Boy series, for the Amiga only the successor Wonderboy in Monsterland has been available so far. An older alpha version can be obtained from the developer's website.
'GothicVania' (video) is a 'tech demo' demonstrating the features and the AGA support of the Scorpion Engine and included in the latest version of the engine. Among other things, a triple parallax scrolling is presented. It is currently unclear whether the game will ever be developed into a complete game.

Windows: Update for the arcade games Huenison and KOG (update)
Simone Bevilacqua's game Huenison for AmigaOS 4 and Windows combines various game elements of early arcade games. The current update of the title, which was released in 2013, is intended to improve the recognition of control pads under Windows (the D-pads were occasionally recognised as thumbsticks), and the instructions have been supplemented.
Update: (16:08, 21.07.22, snx)
The same improvement has been applied to the arcade game KOG, which has been released by him 14 years ago.

Mai Logic: Research on the company history published (Update)
The PowerPC computers "AmigaOne" by Eyetech and "Pegasos (I)" by bplan used the northbridge "Articia S" by Mai Logic, whose defectiveness made it more widely known in Amiga circles. In the forum of Amigaworld.net Michael 'RTK0103' Coe has linked at the title link the results of his research on later allegations of the former Mai Logic CEO Jason Hue about Chinese industrial espionage, which according to him are not true.
Those interested in such details surrounding actual Amiga history will find there especially information about the company history of Mai Logic, formerly Mentor Arc.
